If I'd eatten at this place before going to Mozza in LA, I'd have thought Mario Batalli was simply an overhyped celebrity chef. At Mozza we'd ordered the stuffed squash blossoms and they were magical. We wanted more. Here the quality of the cheese and the overpowering orange zest led us to each take a single bite and discard the rest. The potatoes that we ordered at the recommendation of the waiter were just potatoes. They were kind of greasy and bland. The pasta we ordered was absurdly salty and I couldn't really enjoy the flavor of the noodles. If you want anything for dessert other than gellato go somewhere else, after 3 failed dishes, we decided to skip.
