Gift Tips
- Save the gift for a dinner that includes the seafood specials — the king crab and sea bass get repeated praise for large portions and great flavor.
- Order half portions when available so the recipient can sample multiple entrees like veal, tortellini, and clams linguine without overeating.
- Recommend the garlic crostini or garlic bread as a starter — it’s frequently mentioned as a standout accompaniment to meals.
- Suggest booking a table in the Celebrity Room or reserving a preferred table if available for a fun, photo-filled atmosphere.
- Encourage pairing the meal with a bottle from their reasonably priced wine selection or using corkage to bring a special bottle.
