    Loved the canister of virgin olive oil with fresh delicious bread for the table. My companion was a vegan so they added delightful tomatoes and the vinaigrette was perfect. Portions were ample and the service was impeccable. Atmosphere was pretty and inviting. I had the rigatoni with chicken and my son had the turkey since it was Thanksgiving. I will come back.
