TESTIMONIALS

"Valentine's is the perfect time to celebrate at Puccini's, a cozy getaway my husband and I enjoy for special evenings. When you enter Puccini's, you immediately notice the tea lights that line the wall in a clever design and how beautifully they illuminate the room. The Italian music is so soft, it doesn't overwhelm conversation. The pièce de résistance are the chef's daily choices. The menu is comparatively short, consisting mainly of meat, fish and fowl; however, the limited offerings are never a disappointment. The presentation is pleasing and the flavor of the entrée is always enjoyable, plus the desserts are delicious. Puccini's allows wine to be brought to the restaurant, and there is no corkage fee. Richard, the chef/owner, is every bit the artist with food that his wife, Melanie, is with the décor."-- Maria and Roger Fouracre, longtime

"The food was wonderful. Bill and I almost always split something so we brought our leftovers home and will now have two or three more meals. It was fun, it was good and we met the chef/owner who seems like a neat guy. Once the word gets out we know we won't be able to get in the door without a res."

"Melanie and Richard, Just a note to say my meal last night was superb. I don't think there is anything more I could ask of a restaurant. Watching Richard cook was a treat as I love to cook. It was clear Melanie was in love with the restaurant, and Richard, which is the right recipe for preparing and serving food. Best of luck at the restaurant, and Melanie, at Ringling. Problem is, do I tell anyone about your place or keep it a secret. Think I won't tell." 12/3/2010
