Yes, yes, YES! L’Argaj never disappoints. Five visits and counting, this is now our go-to choice for memorable occasions. We drive two hours and build trips around our trips to L’Argaj and the stunning surrounding wine country.
Their welcome dish is unbeatable. Finely tuned morsels of surprise. Four unique bites that leave me wishing I could order a full servings of each. Those little square bites of crispy outside, creamy inside potate stacks… I would give up chips, fries and mashed potatoes for life to delight between those layers.
While some deconstructed traditional dishes can feel overdone the playful spirit at L’Argaj is matched only by flavors. The balance of elevated taste profiles with fresh preparation and plating that draws attention to the quality of each ingredient is pitch perfect.
They even found a tasteful way to surprise my husband on his birthday. A man who loathes sweets FINALLY delighted in a chocolate birthday wish trailer made just for him.
Best of all, my flailing attempts at Italian are always greeted with warm hospitality. They offer to speak English, but better yet, compliment me by never batting an eye at my continued attempts in Italian. Such grace.
Grazie mille! Alla prossima L’Argay. We’ll be back soon to celebrate my birthday in the fall.
