My husband doesn't like to take me out to eat because I complain about most dishes. I can basically make it better myself, but everyone needs a break. We started with the salad. A light and fluffy bed of mixed greens with just the right amount of accompanied vegetables. The house made dressing had the perfect balance of Italian and creamuness. I could gave drank it right out if the dressing server. I selected the Beef Short Rib Ravioli with mushroom cream sauce. My God..it tasted like stroganoff with a big hunk of short rib on the plate. Everything was fabulous without one complaint from me. EXCEPT.. after my Lemon Drop Martini, I asked our waiter for a glass of sweet red wine. When I asked what it was, it shocked me to learn that it was Riunite Lambrusco. I expected a nice Italian sweet red. That was Very Unexpected.

Quite enjoyable! We will be back again!

Food (taste and temperature), service (knowledgeable, efficient, friendly, pacing), ambiance (decidedly white table cloth, with a homey touch). Prices were typical for the genre, wine bottles very reasonable. We'll keep coming.
