Wow. This was a gem to find. Very small eatery with a nice vibe. We got a reservation and were glad we did. They have around 20 or so tables. The decor is red checked tablecloths and nice wood furnishings. Very inviting.
We were promptly seated and our server gave us a rundown on the menu items. Lots of great looking pasta dishes with very tasty sounding sauces. We could see from other tables that this was serious Italian cuisine and the portions were good. They also do a bustling takeout business we could see from the boxes of food going out the door.
So, in the middle of the Rocky Mountain West, we ordered Shrimp Scampi and the Scallop Dinner. The meals were served on a bed of just-right al dente pasta with each sauce being deliciously paired with the seafood. The minestrone soup was rich and delicious and the salad course was ample and fresh with a balsamic dressing that worked perfectly. A bottle of Italian Pinot Grigio was just minerally enough but still soft and delicious with our seafood.
This was my birthday and the waitress brought us a nice little sundae with ice cream, chocolate, pizzelle, and a candle to top off the evening.
What a great place. This is a family restaurant and the woman in the kitchen has been cooking and running the place for 47 years. We have seafood from coast to coast and in some pretty well known restaurants. We’ve never had better scampi or, especially, scallops in our travels.
