A cheery space dotted with Southwestern flavor and filled with sophisticated Italian cuisine.

The Scene
A small dining room and bar are brightened by airy yellow tablecloths and earthy salmon and yellow walls. Wood-carved masks and Southwest landscape paintings dot the cheery walls and provide a point of reference to diners enjoying fine Italian food.

The Food
Calamari, mussels in a white wine or spicy marinara sauce can start the meal or you can delve into their smoked, baby back ribs to wet your appetite. All fresh salads are prepared tableside. Raviolis are stuffed with either veal and topped with veal glac? and cream or smoked chicken smothered with a red bell pepper coulis. Spicier pastas and entrees take on a distinctly New Orleans twist such as the shrimp ?touf?e and shrimp Marty. Their signature roast duckling is bathed in a Grand Marnier and green peppercorn sauce. Tempting desserts such as the cr?me br?l?e, poached pears and tiramisu pull you in for one last rich delight.
