| - After reading all of the other yelpers reviews, we ventured in, on a Saturday night at about 6:30. we were promptly seated at our reserved table (they sat us at a square table which quickly got over crowded-- request a round one if at all possible) 3 of the menu's that were brought to the table had something on them- 2 were sticky. 1 was covered in what was probably table salt (no biggie right) just a heads up- the service was SLOW-- but the FOOD made up for that 10 fold.
The waiter brought bread sticks (think giant crackers) to the table and set part of them on my salt covered menu (note to self DON'T eat that part) A few minutes later the bread basket appears with a strange yellow substance on a plate. (no one from the wait-staff drops by to tell us what it is-- so we dared someone in our group to try it,, 3 against 1) it turned out to be a corn spread- similar in consistency to polenta.
we ordered caesar salads- they were nicely done, with a Parmesan crisp on top & just the right size to leave room for the amazing dinner to follow.
For dinner, I had the Ricotta, potato Gnocchi- it came with roasted chicken and a wonderful cream sauce that cannot be described any other way except PERFECT.
The rest of the table's meals we're equally superb. the Osso Bucco was apparently in the top 5 of the best my sis in law had Ever had. the hubby got the lasagna, it had veal & pork and was very flavorful without being too salty. My brother had the Lobster Risotto and he was just as impressed with his meal as we all were with ours.
Dessert was good, but I've had better of both the creme brulee & the tieramissu
I should note:
Be CAREFUL when choosing wine from their massive wine list, as they are organized by country & color, BUT not by price, they have $26 bottles right next to $3000 bottles.. a mix up could be costly.
All in all the meal was fantastic.. were there a few things id change? yes.. like the weird bread stick thing.. and not knowing what the corn dish was. but is that going to stop me from eating there again? Hell No. I cant wait to go back!
