Lobster and blue crab stuffing, respectively, in the wee pasta pockets, a great Tuscan wine, local sea scallops perfectly seared and matched with a black truffle sauce, a Northern Italy style chowder with a twist, with littlenecks, leeks, butter and cream, fresh braised cod cheek in a sweet glaze with endives, tiramisu and chocolate raviolis with fresh whipped cream and berries in a cognac sauce, a bottle of Muscat on the house...Man, that old Italian Florence boy took care of us, and can really cook up a storm. So glad to have a place so close that is so good. George, when are you coming down?

Leighton...If you haven't already,you and your hottie wife need to take about 3 weeks and tour Italy. I've been to some superb Italian eateries in my day but nothing compares to the real deal. Plus,it's a stunningly beautiful country and Italians generally love us Americans. They seem to love our tourist dollars anyway.

I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

Looks good, but if you were the only ones in the joint how long can they survive?

Good pics lhonda. The opportunity to go out to places like that is nice. For us it is at least a 50 mile one way drive.
I just got the old frying pan out last night and started with 3 small red potatos in a dab of olive oil, added a small coarse chopped red onion, sliced up a pkg of white muchrooms, a dismantled brocolli crown and added a sliced up Nathan's beef kielbasa. Simple but very good.
In fact left overs for lunch today!

Leighton, I would hate to be guilty of agreeing with isaac, but you should go to Italy. Go to the town of Sorrento on the bay of Naples and eat your way thru the little restaurants there. Heaven on earth for a gourmand like me!
Italians really didn't seem too friendly - but American dollars are still very popular.

The Chef looks like Gary Busey. Hilarious! I said to Airi, with those chompers, that dude's a lock as the Italian Gary Busey...Of course, as it often the case, she didn't get the reference. The destroyer of all things funny the lass can be.

It was the evening of the Monday holiday, so it was essentially late on a 'Sunday' night. They seem to be doing quite well. Thanks for the suggestions on the Italy tour. My folks have urged us to do the same, as they have enjoyed 6 or 7 trips just to Italy the past decade or so, along with their other travels. It's definitely on the 'Greatest Hits Eating Tour' hit list, as are Spain and France. Thanks for the comments, y'all. It really pleases me that we have the place here now, as frankly, outside of the numerous excellent seafood restaurants close by, in the little town we live in, it's mostly a mix of crappy pizza, sub joints and bar food...
