"the menu board outside gives the best contemporary Italian restaurant in jasper . that can be true if it is the only. otherwise it was not. the ambiente does not say italian; the service does not convey the Italian style. there was the Italian background music somehow. the menu does, but eating from the kitchen had little eye and/or taste. the restaurant itself is located in the upper floor with the outside and inside area. our server was not very well versed with the menu questions we had, but did its best. our appetizer was half arancini. it was beautifully displayed with decent size components on a white plate w/ sauce in a sauce boat. but the sose was quite undescribed. my wife ordered the arugula proscuitio salad w/ chicken strip. it was mostly green, but again nothing special except a large part. she also had a side mixed vegetables that were in order. I had the mushroom ravioli. it was literally smashed in a white sauce that looked quite blanching and tasted. I will say that we were pleasantly surprised with a dessert happy anniversary pleasing mixed fruits. We didn't expect that."
