what a fantastic restaurant! came here this afternoon and was definately impressed with the decor. bronze tabletops and menus. heavy! kinda rustic feeling when you walk in. we started with the spinach artichoke dip which i must say was one of the best i've had. best word to describe is chunky. each flavor did not overpower the other. just enough cheese and spinach and good size artichoke pieces. came with homemade fococcia.. could have used a little more flavor. reminded us of naan. i had the pesto cream fettucine. DELICIOUS! wasnt too oily and just the right consistency of creaminess. my friend had the grilled pesto panini and she was pleased.. very surprising considering she doesnt like pesto too much!.. i havent had the tiramisu but i heard its superb here. i'll have to come back and try it! they have happy hour between 4-7 and lunch specials until 4pm. the lunch special is a good sized portion for 2/3 the price. i'm afraid to see the full order.
this place gets 4 stars cuz it doesnt have a large variety of pizza or pasta. basic pastas with red, white or pesto sauce. nothing fancy. just fettucine, spaghetti, or angel hair pasta. extra dollar for tortellini. and the waiter checked on us every 3 minutes. it was very annoying. i mean i like to be checked on but it felt like we were beign harrassed. haha. couple times during the meal is great but i swear he came and asked us 7 times how we were doing. and when he was refilling my water he didnt ask if i wanted more he just stuck his arm in my face as i was trying to eat my pasta and said 'dont mean to reach!'... but he did.. and if i didnt move my head back he would have grabbed my nose. lol.. other than that i really like this place.. might be a little pricey if you dont get the lunch special. $11 for spinach artichoke dip? it cost more than my pasta (8.50)..
