The service, usually by the owner, has always been gracious. The kitchen has consistently produced superior quality meals. Last night, a Friday, was quite busy. We were happy to see almost all of the tables full. Everything worked just as well ias n the slow times. That is quite a tribute to the reliability of the restaurant The menu doesn't change much, although there are specials from time to time. The wine list is quite long for a small venue, When they run out of a particular choice, they always propose a very comparable option. We have never had a disappointing meal here.

But this is where we choose to go for special occasions, such as Birthdays.Come to think of it, we come here anytime when we want to be assured of a very fine meal. The price point, location and sophisticated atmosphere filter out folks who are looking for picture menus and those in five or six languages. Certainly, there are some very fine examples of LIgurian specialties, but the carte includes dishes from other northern regions. The wine list is extensive and thoughtful. Year after year, meal after meal, Mr. Viola always provides a delightful dining experience.
