    Thank you again for a wonderful dining experience and evening. Johnny was an amazing server and recommendations were exactly what I was looking for. I appreciated the warm and welcoming hospitality of everyone with whom I spoke to at the restaurant. The focaccia bread was a dream-crispy on the outside, fluffy and chewy on the inside, it only made more enjoyable by the whipped ricotta and apple butter that accompanied it. Johnny also asked the kitchen to prepare a small version of their Caesar salad for me and the toasted bread crumbs were a nice crunch to the smooth dressing. I followed Johnny’s suggestion and ordered the roasted sweet potato Agnolotti and I was delighted with the tiny pockets of dough filled with a creamy sweet potato filling and the sauce. Oh, the sauce! Pecans, balsamic, ricotta, pecorino Romano and just a hint of Aleppo pepper made a rich, but not too rich, sauce that I was so glad to have focaccia to sweep it up off the plate with! I ended my meal with a scoop of the vanilla gelato, which was so smooth and so creamy, a wonderful ending to an unforgettable meal.
