Our culinary adventure began with the Chef’s Special of the day, Chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy. The chicken, cooked to perfection, was presented in a delectable sauce that featured a harmonious blend of flavors. The sauce was rich and slightly tangy, with hints of herbs and spices that elevated each bite into a symphony of flavors. The Chef’s Special Chicken was a true masterpiece, leaving a lasting impression with its culinary excellence.

Continuing our culinary exploration, we indulged in Linguini Crostacei, a classic Italian pasta dish that showcased the restaurant’s commitment to preserving the essence of Italian cuisine. The linguini was expertly cooked to achieve a delightful al dente texture, providing the perfect canvas for the rich and savory seafood-infused sauce. Succulent shrimp and sweet mussels and clams added a touch of elegance and depth to the dish, creating a seafood lover’s paradise. 

To conclude our culinary journey, we couldn’t resist the allure of a classic Italian dessert: Tiramisu. Trattoria Uliveto’s rendition of this beloved sweet treat did not disappoint. Layered with coffee-soaked ladyfingers and velvety mascarpone cheese, each bite was a symphony of textures and flavors, offering a perfect ending to our meal.
