| - This was a bit of a disappointment, considering its location and the price point.
Our bill for 2 came to $180 plus tip (2 entrees, 2 appetizers, and a bottle of wine). Now, for that price I expect excellence. Instead we got mediocracy.
Service was fine, but nothing to write home about. I could have used more water, but never got a refill.
The food is mixed. I will say that the grilled calamari ($16) was delicious! The beef carpaccio ($18) was good. Both were big portions. The bread was tasty, but the butter/dip was basically just pureed garlic -- it was crazy strong!
Then the mains came. We both got a veal dish, and they tasted similar (both about $25 each). Mine was VERY salty, which really overpowered the taste of the meat. The side portion of vegetables was pathetic. I got 1/8 of a potato (literally, 2 bites), 1 broccoli, and a few slices of red papers and zucchini. The vegetables were all lukewarm.
I think you could do a whole lot more for $180 bucks. I usually don't go to these types of high-end restaurants (cause I'm a value hunter!), but my sense is that there are better Italian options in the area.
DIsclaimer: I'm Italian and love Italian food!
