May 7, 2019 around 6:00 pm in the evening.
Once you walk in and capture the smell, floating conversations and laughter, you know that you are in the right place. Upon entering and being seated my daughter Teria, granddaughter Skye and I ask for recommendations from the gentleman who stopped by to say hello and he recommended the following: Spaghetti with meatballs in tomato sauce, basil and cherry tomatoes and Chicken Parmigiana with tube pasta with classic meat sauce.
Mama Mia! It was marvelous. With the first bite, I was hooked. The chicken breast was so tender, well seasoned and you just savor the flavor, slowly because you want it to last. Oh and the marsala sauce you would like to take a spoon and eat it like ice cream but you remember where you are, so you just relax and act like you know better. The potatoes I could have eaten a bowl full and the vegetables were cooked tender with a bit of a crunch, just right. My daughter and granddaughter loved their dish. Tasty, pasta cooked just right, sauce was freshly made (you could taste the tomatoes), the meatballs were just the right texture.
Our server Brent was so well verse in customer service. We ask him about the gentleman who gave us the recommendation and he stated that it was the chef Mauro. Imagine that. Within a few minutes Maura returns to ask how did we like the dish. When we told him we found out that he was the chef, he then informed us that it was him who prepared our dinner. Now that was smooth. He has such a refined manner about him and absolutely wonderful sense of humor. He stayed to converse with us for a few more minutes, and then he went back to the kitchen. Something was missing once he left but he came back to inquire about what would we like for dessert and we were so full we asked for a rain check.
As you can see from the pictures the atmosphere is inviting, relaxing and the decor and lighting display an extension of Luna Rossa. The waitstaff was attentive, wonderful and accommodating.
Chef Mauro create moments that were beyond our expectations that I will remember, and visit again and again. Stop on by and stay a spell. See if Mauro is around and ask him to make a recommendation. You will not be disappointed.
