    We had a lovely time at Tresca- dimly lit with a moderate noise level- close seating but not so much that I felt our conversation was being overheard all the time. The food was delicious- we had Mussels, Scallops, and the Chicken Marsala and all three brought smiles to our faces. Two breasts for the chicken Marsala so I had leftovers too! I’d definitely recommend this restaurant for a nice date spot.
