Sclavi's Restaurant

Teresa and I met my boss Marshall and his wife Mary at a relatively new restaurant in Superior, Wisconsin called Sclavi's. It has an Italian theme and is in the old Palace Bar location next to what used to be the old Palace Theatre which has now been torn down. the atmosphere is very nice and has a beautiful old tin ceiling painted in dark brown with sandblasted brick walls, very high ceilings and a minimalist feel about it. It is a fairly small space so the minimalist look suits it well, I think. the remaining walls are done in a light oak flat paneled look that is very elegant and the tables are set with nice white table cloths and very comfortable booths set similarly. the food was very good. We had an appetizer of Bruschetta and some good house wine. I ordered the Veal Marsala and Teresa had the Chicken Marsala and both were very nice. The sauce was excellent and the accompanying bread was a nice, crusty Italian loaf with a good chewy exterior and soft interior that I think is just perfect in a bread. The Bruschetta was excellent, with the same bread sliced thinly and toasted with a layer of mozzarella, olive oil, Pesto and chunks of tomato, onion, garlic, salt and pepper; really good stuff! I would definitely recommend this as good eats. The prices were very fair and a good value for the meal.
Good eating!
