I have mentioned this restaurant several times before, but I must reiterate as I dined there tonight & once again, outstanding!
As we always seem to do, we ordered the grilled hot peppers with lots of large whole roasted garlic cloves to start, even though they place slices of sopperasata & provolone chunks along w/ a bowl of olives on the table.
If you ask Luigi, he will also prepare this special tomato & red onion salad, with the most amazing & delicious vinaigrette/dressing! Chunks of fresh of the vine tomatoes, scarlet red , juicy & sweet & perfectly refreshing, especially when you dip the bread from his basket into the leftover dressing.
The menu is great and large, but the specials are always the way I prefer to go.
To begin: The burrata - a creamy fresh mozzarella filled with a touch of ricotta is melt in your mouth sensational, as well as the crab cake, a healthy portion, chock full of fresh lump crab meat- no filler, and many the other apps.
The pastas are all fabulous including tonights special linguine with langostinos (huge head on shrimp) in a very light, slightly spicy red sauce, with just a hint of back heat . Perfection.
The entrees on the menu are wonderful, from the duck w/ orange sauce to the whole baby 'galetto' chicken, to the salmon, the jumbo shrimp scampi over risotto & so many other choices, it is hard to decide , but once again, I go for the specials, which, this evening, happened to be a huge bone in veal chop w/ mushrooms & onions, the swordfish with cherry tomatoes & capers, and the baby lamb chops
grilled to perfection. all served with fresh veggies.
The wine list is quite impressive, and the desserts, deliciosa!!
