This place does not disappoint!! Stunning atmosphere, spectacular service and amazing food!! Love this place. Victoria was our server and did an awesome job of taking care of all our needs. My girlfriend ordered the pork chop which came out nice and juicy and crispy. The dish is just a chop but it's HUGE. My niece ordered the crab risotto- so good she really didn't want to share. I wanted the special seared scallops but they had ran out so Victoria recommended the mafaldine chestnut pasta with veal - OMG - so filling and delicious! Brandino so good with a side of smashed potatoes. We all enjoyed everything about all of our dishes. The freshness and the presentation of each one was perfection. Dessert was so so yummy!!! Wish i could remember what we had! But id come back just for the chocolate cure little crispy cake.
