| - I've eaten here a handful of times but most recently just this weekend, and felt compelled to review.
The first time eating here I got a pretty simple pasta dish, and while it was done well I felt I could have made it at home. I only went back again because I was nearby and wanted to give it another try. The second time, I got sucked in trying a bite of what my fiance got - the lasagna bolognese. My veggie sandwhich was not doing it for me - the bread was extra crusty and dense, and the veggies were extra soft and not very flavorful. His lasagna, however, was excellent - so excellent that I had to go back for a full plate of it myself this weekend. It's a bit expensive for the size but the quality here really shines. Fresh basil on top and cooked within, quality parmagiano generously sprinkled along the edge of the plate, flavorful meat sauce.... and the cheese! It's not difficult to make a lasagna that "people" would like; it's melty meat and cheese after all! But this place puts in quality ricotta in a thick layer that you can sink your fork into. I take my time eating it, and don't feel ashamed or too heavy afterward.
I also had the cream of asparagus soup. Not many places have that on their menu so I ordered it on a bit of a lark really. I'm not a particular fan of asparagus or this kind of soup, but OMG it was spectacular. The balance of asparagus and cream was perfect.
The prices seem a bit too high, even considering the good quality of their dishes. I will keep going back, despite the prices, and hope I find more gems on their menu.
