THE SIMPLICITY OF ITALIAN CUISINE IN A FINE DINING SETTING
About Us
Our company is based on the belief that our customers' needs are of the utmost importance. Our entire team is committed to meeting those needs. As a result, a high percentage of our business is from repeat customers and referrals. In those rare instances when we might not meet your expectations, I promise two things: First, that it was not for lack of effort, for negligence or merely for dereliction of duty. Second, that we will try even harder next time. We might not always succeed but we will absolutely always try. As the proverb goes; if at first you don't succeed... you know the rest.
We would welcome the opportunity to earn your trust and deliver you the best service in the industry.

Monthly Wine Dinner - Please join us for a gastronomical tour of the Mediterranean European nations of Italy, Greece, France, Spain and Portugal. This 5-course wine pairing dinner will be Sunday, March 30th at 5:30pm and will feature the delicious food and wines of these countries. Despite their different languages and economic features, these countries are united by a common cultural and historical heritage, which is derived from Greco-Roman influence. Their weaving of common threads is an impressive number of tangible and intangible cultural assets—including monuments, literature, dialects, customs, inventions, superstitions, and symbols that are constantly highlighted to promote mutual understating, dialogue and a sense of oneness. Thus there is much more convergence than divergence on fundamental values and willingness to live and work together and intermarriage. And the Mediterranean sea is the soul and backbone that unites and feeds them all.
Italy, Greece, France, Spain and Portugal share beautiful scenic coastlines, perfect beaches, ancient architectural and artistic treasures, heartwarming hospitality, cultural & family values and a way of life (la dolce vita) that stresses leisure times, constant interaction with friends and family and activities with large groups of people; but they also share a love for food and wine which is usually the centerpiece of all gatherings while adhering to the Mediterranean diet of plant-based foods, such as fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes and nuts, replacing butter with olive oil, using less salt and more herbs and spices, limiting red meat to a few times a month, eating fish and poultry as often as possible, replacing desserts with fruit and nuts, enjoying meals with family and friends, and of course drinking wine daily, preferably red wine.
We will be serving a course with a wine pairing from each of these countries attempting to feature the most iconic representative dishes from each nation as well as its most famous wines, in the process enjoying the healthy and delicious foods that are common ground in these regions.
