The Write-Up
A family-owned Tuscan room in Summerport with a wine list past 700 bottles and Wine Spectator recognition to show for it. Beef carpaccio and a lobster and pumpkin risotto served in the pumpkin itself lead the menu, with chicken parm for the traditionalists. The patio keeps date night outside when the weather behaves.
