(From January 2011) A recent clear night called for a patio table on the expansive deck shaded by oak trees adorned with glowing white lights. We love the menu’s playful selection of bruschetta toppings—particularly the Brie, fig, and apple. Keeping the carb thing going, we also tried the Popeye and Olive Oil pizza, a flavorful combination of fresh spinach, roasted peppers, and crisp bacon (although it was a little heavy on the gar-lic). Perhaps our favorite dish was a comforting bowl of plump, spicy meatballs bathed in a rich marinara and served on a bed of tender spaghetti—mamma mia! Beer & wine.
