In February, we researched Italian eateries that offered some gluten-free options for my wife, and good food for everyone, and we sure are glad that we found this fantastic spot. It is small and cozy, quaint and has the most excellent food and great wines. It is run by a team of super-courteous and helpful staff and the owner himself, Ari, is actively helping and ensuring complete customer satisfaction.
We have gone there twice in the past month. On both visits, we ordered different meals and everything in each meal was so delicious. On my first visit, I ordered the Parmesan Crusted Chicken (Parmesan Polenta & Shaved Parmesan Garnished with Arugula Salad). I don't know why it took 60 years for me to have such a wonderful burst of flavor in one meal... but everything tasted great and is still very memorable. My wife had the gluten-free Pizza Margherita, which was outstanding. On our second trip, I had the Blackened Shrimp & Sea Scallop Linguine with Asparagus, Spinach, Chardonnay Roasted Pepper Sauce. From the first bite, the flavors really popped in my mouth and filled my taste buds with pleasure. It is amazing how the blackened shrimp spice (not hot, nor burned on a grill) was seasoned so perfectly, it reached taste buds all throughout my mouth. My wife had the gluten-free Flatbread Verdura with Shredded Mozzarella, a nice assortment of Chef's vegetables... a thin crust with fresh mozzarella, mushrooms, sautéed squash, red bell pepper, asparagus and olive oil.
It is rare that I find a restaurant that I literally crave, but this is our new favorite in the area, by far. The owner manager is so courteous, and the food and service impeccable, that I had to ask the owner for his name after showering him with compliments. There is no doubt we will return aging soon. I rarely leave comments in Yelp about restaurant visits, but this place rose to the top and I felt compelled to tell the world about it. Sincerely, "The Love Birds"
