  • Similar to Pat A. who was the first customer at Ascari, we ordered the Crostini Toscana to start. It was quite delicious and our dog tried to lick our face off when we got home so human and dogs approve :) The menu is predominately pasta, salads and appetizers aside, so this I found a bit disappointing. With little variety of options I was left wondering how this place would have me coming back consistently. Regardless, having difficulty choosing from the lack of choice I defaulted to the waitress, which we all know can be a challenge sometimes. You hope to hear some romanticized answer and often get the "Well I haven't had a lot of this stuff because I don't eat meat." This waitress on the other hand was amazing. With a hint of an Italian accent and ability to tell a story, she had me sold on the lamb pasta. Now I'm not going to do it any justice by explaining it, so you'll have to try it yourself but essentially it was braised lamb, with square homemade pasta, what seemed to be dried cherries and a very subtle use of cheese. Spectacular! The significant other settled for a simple spaghetti but as far as simple spaghetti's go ... again the actual noodles were incredible and the tomatoe sauce was deliciozo! We ended the night very unnecessarily with the equivalent of what I'd say are fried banana donuts. Banana's battered, fried, dipped in sugar and cinnamon and then served with a creme of caramel. We also had an espresso and Americano and I'd go back just for the coffee it was so good. The meal was served with perfect olive oil and bread, which they are apparently still trying to settle on ... the bread not the oil. They still didn't have their license so it ran us $70 before tip and tax. In terms of decor ... it's lacking the warmth of an Italian establishment. I'm all for minimalist and slightly industrial looking design but it's too "cold". What's really great is the postcard that comes with your bill that tells the story of Alberto "Ciccio" Ascari, why they haven't leveraged this story to add some life to the walls via black and white photography is odd. However, given it's Table 17 affiliation, I am confident they'll make the place work but would def recommend more variety on the menu or at minimum a changing menu. Otherwise it was yum!
