The dry martini was served from the shaker at the table and it was wonderfully cold and refreshing. The drink was shared by several of our dining companions as the shaker contained three full servings! Consuming it all by myself would have certainly put me under the table.

While we did not have appetizers this evening those that ate at Piero's previously claimed that the stone crab claws and Cajon shrimp were to die for.

The Caesar salad, their award winning specialty Osso Buco and my wife's rigatoni in meat sauce were all very good. The veal shank was perhaps simpler than I expected but our Italian friend had his thumb up for this dish. The linguini that came on the plate was superb.

The 1998 Domaine Serene Oregon Pinot Noir went very well with the food. This wine gave me a different perspective on Pinot as it was quite full and bold as in a cab yet it was very gentle and smooth at the same time.

The house specialty tiramisu, just as the service provided by the staff were both heavenly.
