The calamari was perfect especially the sauce! Veal Napoleon was divine,truffle reduction was complex and delicious. Linguine Sinatra was a treat for the eye but somewhat less to the taste,something was missing? Italian Cheesecake was amazing! Tito's Martini was perfect with huge,crunchy olives and cold,cold,cold! Will highly recommend to others. Thank you for a memorable Thanksgiving dinner.
