This is our favorite moderately priced restaurant. They serve fresh baked bread that is the best we’ve had at any restaurant. They also serve an antipasto dish with olives, cauliflower, celery, shredded Parmesan cheese, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. It’s delicious and a perfect complement for the bread. It’s filling too so it could replace an appetizer. We like to go on Friday nights because their current special on Fridays is Shrimp Diavlo. It’s magnificent. Big meaty shrimp and a flavorful, chunky tomato sauce makes this dish five stars. We had the tiramisu for dessert last night with coffee and it’s a huge piece of cake, beautifully presented with a vanilla cream around the base. Wow. We’ll go back soon!
