This is one of my favorite restaurants. The quality is on par with Manhattan restaurants at Long Island prices. I normally go for lunch take out. But two days ago I had dinner. They had homemade sweet corn rice balls and homemade sweet corn ravioli. They were outstanding. Restaurant is small but nice. The staff is very attentive without being overbearing.
Food was unbelievable. Black pasta was unreal and the fluke dish was cooked perfectly. Dessert was just as good if not better than the excellent dinner. Pistachio gelato was loaded with actual pistachios and extremely natural tasting. The carrot cake was 10/10. The. BUtter cream on the carrot cake was a highlight. The staff was extremely nice and professional. I drove over an our to get here and will make the drive again sometime soon.
I count my daily calories, and an app I use found this place by scanning my food photos. The meatballs had good protein and fit my remaining total well. The dining room was quiet and simple.
