"This charming little Northern Italian restaurant is quite impressive. They change their menu five times a year while still offering some wonderful staple dishes. The wine list is extensive, catering even to those with more selective tastes. The service was attentive and friendly. I tried the mushroom risotto, which was absolutely delicious. I appreciate that they allow you to order half portions of entrees, making it easy to mix and match. I had Pat's vongole, which consists of Manila clams in a white wine butter sauce (a very refined dish, as he put it). While I found it slightly bland, it was still enjoyable. The Raviolo was tasty, but I felt the pasta in both dishes was rolled a bit too thick, which overshadowed the flavors. The Bolognese was delightful, although once again, the pasta was a bit heavy. To end the meal, we indulged in three scoops of their unique gelato flavors. I particularly enjoyed the extra virgin olive oil gelato, and the coffee flavor was excellent too. I will definitely return, likely to try the shrimp. The appetizers were fantastic, and the wine was lovely. Overall, I would rate it between 3.5 and 4 stars."
