    We had an excellent dinner this evening. The food was terrific, and the wait staff was well-informed and helpful. We celebrated a birthday and a singing waiter sang happy birthday to us in Italian. Wonderful!

    We had an absolutely wonderful meal at Pasta D’Arte. We’ve been looking for an Italian restaurant since Grazianos closed. This was a step above! I had a Caesar salad: a nontraditional preparation but delicious! Then ravioli with squash, absolutely perfect. My daughter and her friend had grilled calamari and octopus with spinach snd cannellini beans. Superb presentations! Then they shared a pizza…a little ho-hum, I thought. Desserts were spot on too, as were drinks and coffee. Wonderful service, great atmosphere. We were surprised and delighted.

    Stefani's is my new favorite spot. This was my fourth visit since October 18th. We tried a few new items this time: the tuna crudo is amazing! The friend calamari is so light and fresh....the caper aioli is delicious! All our entrees were fantastic: chicken parmesan, short rib ravioli, ravioli pera (oh my gosh!!!), pasta aragosta, and my favorite: the seared tuna (extra rare is my favorite way). Our desserts were perfect to finish the meal: the cookie skillet was warm and gooey and delicious....the bread pudding was WOW! Mike was our server and there is no one better! We have been lucky enough to have him for each of our four visits. He is so attentive. He offers excellent suggestion when asked! He KNOWS the menu inside and out!
