I would love to give this place at least 4 stars - Buuuuuut the service was horrid.
Starters included - house salad with an apple/pear vinaigrette and the Italian wedding soup. The salad was crisp fresh greens with a sliced strawberry and ricotta - SKIP the chick peas on the plate, it threw the bitter/sweet taste south. Wedding soup was tasty - till you near the bottom where the bowl was encrusted with grated SALTY cheese - WOO too much. The back-server filled and when I say filled I mean FILLED a bowl with EVOO and maybe added a tablespoon of balsamic for our bread. So much oil you couldn't reach the balsamic.
If you want water or butter you have to ask for it.
Dinner - 5 oz filet and the chicken piccata. The filet was super tender and the pecorino romano garlic herb sauce on it was delicious - the "garlic" mashed potatoes lacked taste. Chicken piccata, was tasty cooked thoroughly - too many capers...and it was served with a side of zesty marinara over ziti. IMO - I would have complimented this dish with a garlic oil linguine.
Dessert - nothing thrilling, did not order, although the pizza frite seemed interesting - I'm sure it was their version of Zeppole or fried doughboys.
Service was pitiful - our server was also the host and had to be reminded TWICE food was ready to be delivered. His hand skills are lacking as well - he served our neighboring table a bowl with his thumb in it. Gross.
Price wasn't too bad - $55.00 for a party of two - that was with soft drinks and no dessert. We made a reservation, which was unnecessary as the restaurant was quiet.
Would I go there again? Yes, in comfy jeans, to sit at the wine bar and order a wood fired pizza. :)
