    Love the crispy semolina gnocchi. I've been ordering it once a week for over a year! Another favorite is the ever changing charcuterie and cheese selections and the herb fries.

    Don't be scared...try the duck balls-they're delightful!! Start with a chef's choice charcuterie and end with the caramel corn panna cotta.
