    We chose Cesarina because they make their own pasta in-house as well as their sauces and everything else. Wow - what a great meal! We waited at the bar overlooking the pasta being made so when we were seated, we decided to start with a ravioli and separately, carpaccio. Both were outstanding with some type of truffle oil over the tender carpaccio making it fantastic! We had the Norma sauce (with eggplant) with pasta and the meaty Mafalde al Sugo Napoletano with ribs and sausage and it was made perfectly! We were too stuffed for dessert and boxed up the leftover but will definitely return.

    I love The Fishery! Their seafood is always so fresh . They taste like they were just pulled out of the sea! The ingredients in the recipes bring out the flavors of the seafood and never over power!! It doesn't seem to matter what I chose off the menu it never disappoints. Their signature cocktails are a fun treat too!
