Since it's a small place, reservations are REQUIRED. We arrived for our 7:45pm reservation, and were promptly seated.
Our server, Mike, was very attentive.
Delicious crusty bread was brought to the table. Olive oil was poured. So good, we asked for more...
Appetizers shared:
Carpaccio di Manzo (filet mignon served raw and thinly sliced with mache, parmesan and extra virgin olive oil)
Mozzarella di Bufala & Barbabietole (fresh buffalo milk mozzarella served with beets, asparagus and prosciutto over a sun-dried tomato purr and topped with aged balsamic)
Torta di Ceci (thin unleavened pancake made of chickpea flour)
Entrees:
We all enjoyed our wonderful entrees. Everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection!
Jay - Spaghetti con Nero di Seppia (black squid ink spaghetti with snow peas, razor clams, black bass, shrimp and scallops in a lightly spicy garlic and oil sauce)
Ken - Pesce del Giorno (black bass with grilled squid, sea beans and snow peas over an almond puree)
Diane and Zach - Brasato di Manzo (slow roasted grass-fed short ribs braised in Barbera d'Asti wine served with mushrooms & red bliss country mashed potatoes and asparagus)
Dessert:
Jay was quite happy with the Mouse di Cioccolato & Nocciole (dark chocolate and hazelnut mousse topped with an almond crumble and served with cherries braised in red wine and whipped cream). A flavorful and light ending to a wonderful meal.
Diane loved the Tiramisu al Tavola (created table side with homemade lady fingers and cream of mascarpone, espresso and cocoa powder.
The presentation for the espresso was equally impressive!
Zach enjoyed the Pan di Spagna con Composta di Fragole e Mouse al Cioccolato (sponge cake layered with fresh organic strawberry compote and topped with chocolate mousse)
Wines enjoyed:
We will return, as there are other dishes we wish to try.
