Went here last night for Fancy Date night with my man. Good food + cool Decor= great date night destination.
From the outside it's almost hard to see that there is a restaurant in this building, I must have passed it 100's of times going up East Washington without noticing it. The restaurant is very classy and unique and although (like most places in madison) fancy clothes aren't required it's a great place to go if you do want to dress up.
It was our server's first night so she was being shadowed by someone who had worked there longer. They were both very nice and we got water as soon as we sat down, warm bread with olive oil soon followed. My date ordered a pizza and I had the Fettucini Angelina with the shrimp on the side. My dinner came with a salad, which had the best crutons I have ever had. The rest of the salad was run of the mill. The fettucini was fantastic (although a little heavier than I had expected) it was tossed with cream sauce spinach and portabella mushrooms. I got the shrimp on the side since I don't eat shellfish but my date does, he dipped it in my pasta sauce and said it was amazing. My only wish would be that the pasta was made on site (fresh pasta as opposed to dried and then cooked pasta). However, it was cooked to perfection and didn't detract from the dish.
My date's pizza was sausage and mushroom. It tasted really good. The crust was more like a thin deep dish pizza than a true italian pizza. He really enjoyed it but said he'd go for the pasta next time.
The whole thing was pricey but it was a top notch experience. If it had been a little cheaper I'd easily give this place 5 stars...
