The food presentation mtched the taste. It was our first time here, but it won't be the last. Everything was cooked perfectly. The trout dish was flavorful, and all the ingredients blended well together. The short rib arancini I felt was a little light on short rib but the tste distracted me from the of me. They were the right blend of garlic, cheese and crunchy goodness. But the biggest surprise was the foccacia and ricotta appetizer. so creamy.
