  I went there for dinner with my mom and dad. The atmosphere is nice. (a little squished with my fat butt walking to the table). Luckily we got a booth. For dinner I had the baked manicotti and it was yummy. it had 3 manicottis on the plate. For dessert I had the marscapone cheesecake and it was SOOOOO good. It had(i think) a lavender infused whip cream with it that was awesome. My dad had the semifreddo (vanilla bean) for dessert and it tasted just like ice cream. He also really liked his zucchini salad for an appetizer. He had the swordfish special and said the swordfish was really good. My mom had the roast chicken and then the panna cotta for dessert. She said the roast chicken was moist. A little spicy though. The waitress was well spoken. She knew alot. I would eat here again and am looking forward to going on a monday night.
