"This charming little place is right across the street from the city Theater. Initially, we were the only couple eating on a Monday night. We were welcomed by Luca, part owner, and were seated at a corner table quickly. The selective menu offered numerous possibilities and we ordered a Risotto with shrimp and Tortellini stuffed with a mixture of pork and beef. While waiting for the main course we sampled two awesome breads both of which were dipped in a regional olive oil. The oil was from Lucca and was the best we have ever tasted. We come to Italy every year and I lived in Italy six years. We also split a mixed salad which was very fresh and crispy while waiting for the main course. Portion size was more than adequate. Alessandro, chef and part owner, surprised us with a gift from the kitchen. A potato chip which had red onion, mustard seed stem and a drop of mayonnaise. Superb! The main courses arrived and presentation was great. The Risotto filled the plate and was about a quarter inch deep. There were four tender shrimp on top of the Risotto. Temperature and coloring were perfect. The Tortillini too was extremely good while presented in a white cream sauce. The mix of beef and pork was very tasty. Dessert consisted of a Chocolate soufflé in a white cream sauce. Warm chocolate cake filled with a very warm chocolate sauce. I ate as much as the spoon would allow. The house red wine was excellent and the half carafe portion fairly priced. We will return........a big thumbs up for Alessandro and Luca!"
