Went to Cesca last night. The bruschetta sampler was divine. The Saturday special (pork) was amazing. I thought I was eating a fine filet. Plus the wine list does not suck...Very pleased.

Such a beautiful place and one of a kind. y husband works near this amazing restaurant and he asked me to eat there while we we're on our way home. I had focaccia with tomato and it was so tasty, a large prawn and a chocolate cake for dessert. It was awesome. Really a fantastic place!
