    If you want the Best of Italian food in this area, then Caterina de Medici of the Culinary Institute will not disappoint you. Updated Italian favorites served in a new way will delight. My party had stuffed squash blossoms, rigatoni with broccoli rabe and sausage, broiled scallops, steak, pasta with pesto and pine nuts, and desserts! Fantastic! No one was disappointed, and the service was excellent! We did not feel rushed, and talked for two and a half hours around the dinner table. The Mocktail I had, a blend of expresso and orange, was great. You will Love it!

    Every trip to the Culinary is outstanding! The food is beyond and the service is wonderful! To know that tomorrow's world class Chefs are providing the experience and in a very small way having a part of that is simply outstanding! We are very fortunate to have them nearby and can enjoy the experience again and again, yet always different, every opportunity we can!
