    Another lovely dining experience at LaScogliera I started off slow with a house salad so I could savor the wonderful flavors of my shrimp scampi. Finished with a chocolate lava cake which was the perfect size. This is my second visit but definitely not my last. Take the time to dine at this hidden gem.
