This was our favorite pasta dish. It came in a white wine sauce that was extremely flavorful, with just the right amount of salt and garlic. The noodles were perfectly cooked and topped with a generous portion of calamari, clams, mussels, and shrimp.

We asked if they could make capellini with a light marinara sauce and shrimp for my daughter, and they graciously accommodated us. They even cut the shrimp into bite size pieces which we appreciated. The sauce was creamy and slightly sweet, perfect for our preschooler’s palette. It was my second favorite pasta dish of the evening.

My son demolished his trio of grilled lamb chops accompanied by steamed broccoli, spinach, and potato slices. The chops were surrounded by a light drizzle of balsamic.

My son also polished off two orders of seared scallop appetizers served with porcini mushrooms and truffle oil. We adults shared and enjoyed an order of scallops, too, with the mushrooms actually being my favorite part.

My husband particularly enjoyed the papardelle with lamb and tomato sauce, a plateful of thick, chewy pasta with ground lamb seasoned with rosemary and garlic. My girlfriend and I thought it was the least impressive dish, it just didn’t have that wow factor and the noodles were a teensy bit too al dente. My husband would give this dish four stars and I give it two stars so it averages out to 3 stars.
