Had a wonderful dinner, as usual! We ordered several different salads and pastas (4 of us) and a couple of deserts. The ziti puttanesca and browned butter and crispy sage raviolis, our typical orders, were delicious. The other couple ordered the tagliatelli with mushrooms - yum. I don't think I've ever been disappointed with this restaurant and we've coming here for almost 20 years.
