Anthony’s Trattoria

What to say about my experience at the only true anthonys trattoria located in fountain park plaza just behind calistoga bakery. The food was amazingly prepared by two italian gentlemen who have been in this country combined less then 30 years. There names were Luigi and Ettore, Luigi who is the chef/​owner came out of the kitchen to greet us and give us a kings welcome. Luigi went right into informing us of the delectable features they were offering, and offered us a nice bottle of a super tuscan blend, which the name escapes me but the flavor of the wine still sits at the fore front of my taste buds…
Shortly after luigi presented and served my guest and I our wine, he returned to our table with a plate of brushetta, which was plated on a tasteful yet simple rectangle plate, with the aroma of the fresh basil and extra virgin olive oil hitting my nose before the plate even came to rest on the table. The tomatoes tasted like tomatoes out of my garden and the olive oil, and fresh basil made me feel like I was eating in my kitchen at home. Next I opted for a nice fresh bowl of pasta fagioli, which flavors were out of this world brought my mind back to my grandmothers kitchen thirty years ago. Between courses Luigi and his lovely wife Eliane were very attentive but not bother some in anyway.
For my main course I went to the features board, and opted for the sea bass livornese, the lovely presented over perfectly cooked fresh pasta made by chef Ettore earlier that day. The flavors of this dish brought me back to my last trip to naples, italy, the cut of fish was perfectly cooked without out even a hit of that fishy taste we all hate to get while dining out. The flavors of the imported olives pomodoro, and capers still dance in my mind like they did my tongue that evening.
As a hole the food was spectacular the service and Luigi and Eliane gave me and my family an experience I will never forget, I plan on returning as many times as possible and suggest everyone should give there mouths the pleasure of dining at this true gem anthonys.
