Simply the BEST Italian restaurant in this part of the state -or maybe the entire state. Based on multiple visits, dating back to its first days at the previous location, La Violetta delivers, time and time again, a superb experience in a boutique setting. Our...tastebuds have been pampered with delicious dishes such as the mushroom soup, made-on-premises pastas, esp. caramelli, tortellini and gnudi, each in a lip-smacking sauce, ossobucco, filet Mignon with foie gras and truffles, branzino sous vide, pasta frutti di mare and, for dessert, the chocolate tartufo. And then any of their specials of the day and a compact array of superb red wines, most of these from small wineries, true under-reported gems. Not once, in years, has there been a miss. Bout what makes this place so special is the “package” that surrounds the meals: the warm welcome, the attentive, well-informed service, the casual yet smart atmosphere and, not to be overlooked, the easy parking. Pricey, but you get a mouth-watering bang-on dining experience for the bucks.More
