We are so glad that we did! The food was amazing, the service was great and the value was unbelievable! Such a great dining experience, we will definitely go back! We shared the scrumptious Stuffed Mushrooms as our appetizer and we loved the bread basket served with warm marinara-such a delicious and special treat. I had the Tilapia Milanese which was wonderful. My husband had the Linguine with Shrimp Tapenade and said it was fantastic, spicy but not overly so. We tried the cannoli chip & dip for dessert which was delicious and a very unique idea. The perfect size for a little something sweet with our coffees.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMLove the lasagna.
