    This was our first time to this lovely family-run Italian restaurant. We set up a reservation since it was Saturday evening dinner. It's a nicely decorated place. Our young wait staff was friendly and attentive. We shared Artichokes Francaise - delicious, and an Apple-Arugula-Cranbury-Walnut Salad - also delicious (but they were out of apples - not an exotic ingredient). I enjoyed the Chicken Scarpiello. They accommodated my request to swap house vegetables for the potatoes and it was one of the best I've tasted in a very long time! The ingredients were fresh, and the sauce was outstanding. My wife also enjoyed the Shrimp Marsala and said they did the Marsala sauce just right. It's a BYOB. Everything is ala carte, so it's slightly more than restaurants that include a salad with dinner. But, so-far the prices are within a reasonable range. I recommend this restaurant and plan on going back myself.
