    Like always this place never disappoints!!! We had a wonderful dinner at apulia, we had the cavatelli with lump crab meat, delicious!!! I had the summer pre fixed dinner, which was delicious salmon on a bed of tomatoes and cucumber salad, with feta cheese the salmon was cooked to perfection! It came with a appetizer and dessert, very good value, Ann was our server, very attentive, Finn and Rayna at bar made us some fantastic drinks, I recommend this place to have fabulous drinks and a phenomenal dinner!!!!

    The only observation that I notice was in the extra virgin olive oil bottle. Unfortunately this was not extra virgin olive oil as it was printed on the bottle. Maybe this was an oversight. I will definitely return for more great food. As long as I get REAL extra virgin olive oil. Just remember that you have customer's who are graduates in the culinary arts.

    The Romano salad is always a must. Dario's wonderfrl homemade lasagna always ells out early when it is a special. My wife loved it. My seafood medley (shrimp and calamari, salmon, swordfish and halibut — all grilled then served with a buttery sauce) was accompanied by prosciutto-wrapped asparagras and a potato-stuffed roasted tomato — was unique and amazing.
