One of the best Italian restaurants in the valley. Many dishes are wonderful, like the Pacific sand crabs, squash ravioli in sage butter, and ethereal mixed seafood carpaccio. Handsome place and the staff is more than competent.

This restaurant is very much a family affair with the wife serving as maitre d, the husband reciting the night's specials and the son serving as our waiter. We shared a Caesar salad that was disappointing, but our pasta entrees saved the evening. Ms. Westie ordered ravioli do zucca al burro e salvia - homemade ravioli stuffed with roasted butternut squash, topped with brown butter and sage. I ordered the mezzaluna di vitello con Porcini - homemade half moon pasta filled with veal, served with peas, prosciutto and porcini mushrooms in a light cream sauce. Both pasta dishes were bursting with flavor and I rated mine as the best entree of the trip. We used a coupon for 50% off a second entree that I located on the RJ's website. 4 Forks out of a possible 5
On a return visit Nick, the owners' son was again our waiter, but the parents were not on the premises. We shared the evening's special salad - arugula and fennel in a blood orange and lemon dressing. Ms. Westie's entree was mezzelune di Vitello con Porcini - homemade half moon pasta filled with veal and served with peas, prosciutto and porcini mushrooms in a light cream sauce. I chose the evening's special pasta -- homemade wild mushroom ravioli in a mascarpone cream sauce. All three dishes were outstanding. 4.5 Forks.

Great service, the chef must have been out that
evening and the dishwasher was cooking. The
food was either over cooked or under cooked. Sending it back they returned and it was worse.
Totally overpriced. You can not make up for
poor quality food and cooking with service.
