Food is the closest thing to how food tasted when my family cooked. Service was decent. Though, a party upstairs made things initially a bit slower than I expected. appetizers: we ordered arincini (fried risotto balls, flavored with a small amount of meat and peas). These were excellent. crust was perfectly crisp, and inside filled with perfectly cooked risotto. The house salad is good. iceberg and spinach leaves, red onion, black olives, shredded carrots, peproncini, croutons, and dressing. My wife ordered the Sicilian salmon, crisp outside, over roasted potatoes, and topped with feta and red peppers. I had the sausage cavatappi in a cream sauce. This meal was done so perfectly! pasta , sausage, spices all perfect ratios. I was a happy doobie after this meal. I highly recommend this dish.
