caption: (The flavors of Italy come through loud and delicious in the pizza prepared in a wood-fired oven.) A key element of our experience was the attentive personal care of our server, who knows the menu inside and out and made helpful recommendations. Our host let us know that any dietary requests would happily be accommodated. He also noted that unfinished bottles of wine from the well-curated list can be packaged to take home. Many dishes are gluten-free, including a special pasta. As we pondered the menu, our server started us off with warm slices of homemade focaccia and a hearty Italian bread. She brought us garlic-infused olive oil for dipping and Parmesan to take it up another notch. My dining companion and I are partial to Parmesan, and were delighted at the extra touch of hand grating.
