This. Place. Is. Amazing.

This. Place. Is. Amazing.

Simple and straight forward, this place is top notch! I was truly not expecting such a great meal and evening when coming to this place. Honestly, I thought it was going to be an overhyped Olive Garden with bland and standard Italian dishes, but wow was I glad to be proven wrong.

Everything from the start was just magnificent. Driving in, to walking into the restaurant, from our interaction with the waitress, and the meal itself...it was all just great. The staff is highly knowledgeable about the kitchen and menu, and provides very clear and concise information.

While we dined at night, I can only imagine the views just being spectacular during the day by getting to see the vineyard in its full glory. I definitely can see this place as special as it has a romantic/dreamy vibe and atmosphere about it.

I wish I could describe the meals in their full glory, but just trust me when I say you won't be let down. Their fresh baked bread is mouthwateringly soft and fresh, and the portafino dish I ordered was nuts. Another member at our table also got the lamb chops which were insane as well.

Go here!
