Went out for my birthday and decided to try the dinner service. We had been here before for lunch and loved it. Dinner was not dis-appointing at all. It was a holiday weekend, so they were very slow for a Saturday night, which made it better for us though. They have a very solid wine list and a full bar. You have the choice of inside or outside seating. We sat inside due to the heat. It was still 98 degrees at 7:30pm. They have some of the best antipasti options I have ever seen on a menu. All of the cheeses are from Italy and the meats are very good quality. You can have the chef put one together or you can select your own. I picked mine this time. For the pasta course, I had proiscutto ravioli with a pork shoulder ragout. It was excellent. Diana had the best mushroom risotto I have ever tasted. Actually, it was the best risotto I have ever tasted. It was cooked perfectly. Main courses were Oso Buco and Chianti braised beef tips. Both were served over polenta. I have never tasted polenta so smooth in all my dining experiences. Normally there is a grainy texture to polenta; this one was as smooth as mash potatoes. We wrapped up the meal with some desert wine and a raspberry soufflé. Well done Chef. This meal ranks as the second best meal I have had here in Shreveport. I recommend this to anyone who wants a nice meal.
As a matter of fact, I will be back there on the 14th, they are having a chefs special menu dinner that night. 5 courses with wine pairings for $65 a person. If you are in the area, you should attend.
