    It was my second visit to Luca Turci, this time with a dear friend -- this was her first time dining there. She was so impressed! We shared the delicious Sex Appear --pear carpaccio slices topped with truffle honey, balsamic, walnuts, Gorgonzola and arugula. Delicious, and a perfect shareable appetizer. We decided to split the buttery seabass with asparagus risotto and also share a serving of the Fettuccine three cheese -- so creamy and tasty. Love the by-the-glass wine list, as she drinks red and I drink white. I enjoyed two glasses of the pinot grigio and she found the perfect Italian cab. Our server was very good, not obtrusive but there when we needed him to refill a glass or bring an extra plate. I could sit outside among the twinkling fairy lights all evening -- Kudos to Luca Turci!
