Lets start with the downsides.
- no smoking allowed inside
- only mediocre wine is served and the staff doesn't know too much about it.
- desserts were nearly all not there the time i went.
- the staff made mistakes with the order - twice- and brought out replacements twice.
- music wasn't the best.
upside- really nice food. i had the pizella (YUMMYYY!!) and the pepper stuffed with rice, mozarella and basil (even more yummy!!!!) and now i'm sure i'm gonna go back there several times.
the handmade pasta with gorgonzola was also something else. Their ceaser's salad also left a little to be desired though. Insalata with the blue cheese was really good. Really really good food.
The desserts were okay. Blueberry cheesecake wasn't fancy. The regular cheesecake was quite nice but here they broke their rule and both cheesecakes tasted too almondy and nutmeggy.
Otherwise, really good food. Try going there on a weekday. The dinner crowd is substantially lesser and the waiters actually are truly helpful.
Its nice to see food which hasn't been over spiced or overpowered just one basic flavour. These guys stripped the food down to its basic taste and complemented it well with other gentle flavours.
