     Delicious cocktail. The Arancini‘s were smaller yet again. The rigatoni Bolognese was absolutely amazing. The dessert sounded unique, so I tried it, but it was pretty tart as it included cranberries that were not sweetened. I wish I had gotten the chocolate cake instead. Still my absolute favorite place to go.

    A night out before a show. Most of us have never been to Grappa. We decided to give grappa, the drink, a try. Our amazing waiter, Ryan, gave us a great education about grappa. It wasn't what we anticipated, and we were still curious, so he offered us all a tasting. The food came quick and was plenty to share and take some home. It was a little chilly, but other than that, it was a great place for a fun dinner.
