    The Meatball appetizer was light and melted in your mouth. We really enjoyed the Hog Snapper and the Lobster Ravioli. The Funk desert was recommended by the waiter and it marvelous and not to be missed. First visit to Caffe Violetta in over a year and it is better than ever. Attentive service and cozy ambience. An easy 5 stars.
