| - Part of me doesn't want to write a good review because I don't want DiAnoia's to get too popular. But man, this place was fantastic from start to finish and I'm nothing if not honest. There were four of us, all of whom are hogs, so we ate the following things:
- Tortellini en brodo. My friend and I nearly came to blows over who got to drink the broth at the end. This was a real standout.
- Gnocchi. The lightest and fluffiest I've seen in a long time.
- Amatrician. My favorite dish, so I've had it everywhere, and this was done extremely well and with a pasta I'd never seen before that was perfect for grabbing the sauce.
- Wild boar pasta. Any time B sees this, he orders it, and this, while slightly sweet, did not disappoint.
- The garlic bread. The like $3 garlic bread was outstanding, to the point where we got 2.
- The bread pudding. YOU GUYS THE BREAD PUDDING. It comes in a coffee cup and is basically soaked with espresso, which is a very good thing.
All of the food was truly wonderful, and the service was great. My only complaint has to do with ambiance/decor. It's very bright and white, which is probably great during the day but at night felt like it could use some softening. It's also pretty loud, with not a lot to dampen the noise (concrete floors, lots of windows). That said, this place has been open for about four days, so I'm sure they are adjusting things as time goes on.
Highly, highly recommend. I suspect I'll be back within a week.
