In Short
Tall ceilings and the warmth and aromas from the open kitchen characterize the space as soon as you enter the front door. Make your way into the main dining room, and the stunning view of the skyline cannot be overstated. the kitchen bustles--chicken on rotisseries, garlic sizzling--but the atmosphere remains quiet, candlelit and romantic. An elaborate bread basket is plenty to tide you over until one the many hearty, traditional Italian entrees arrive.
