"We love this restaurant. The staff is always so welcoming; the service is always personal and attentive; and it is QUIET - you can actually hold a conversation with your table mates without raising your voice at all. Favorite menu items = Scaloppini di Salmon, Vitello alla DeCarlo’s, Agnolotti allaCrema, Veal and Spinach Lasagna ... and for dessert, my favorite = Tartufo Limoncello. And don't forget to consider the daily specials = always delicious."See more
