Minestrone and a warm breadstick made a gentle, comforting start. The soup was fresh and savory, and it set a relaxed mood for the rest of the meal.

Cavatappi with marinara and grilled chicken was the main event. The sauce clung to every twist, and the chicken added a clean, savory finish. One water kept things light, and this was a simple, pleasing plate that hit all the right notes.
