| - ok lots of reviews on enoteca, i guess i am just throwing in my 2 cents, but here it goes. First off, Yelp should really either buy or merge with opentable, i downloaded the app on my BB and had rezzos for enoteca in under a minute, without any phone calls. its fucking awesome. yelp's blackberry app sucks (sorry, its true), you guys need to beef that sh*t up, foreal.
Onto the review, i was pretty happy i got the rezzo on my bb through opentable in under a minute, so that was just put me in an awesome mood. Looking over the menu, it looked pretty awesome, but missing a few of my favourite things about italian restaurants being carpaccio, either way i make due. few things here i didnt like to start, olive oil: too damn strong and bitter, im paleo so i barely eat bread but was famished so i did, and that olive oil tasted like ass, if i wanted to taste ass id have given my date a rimjob at the table, i didnt. And the cheese stuff, WTF, ya i like a good cheese but 7 bucks for a plate of 4 slices of cheese and burnt toast, (get the F outta here). give me some meat.
Grilled octopus: ive neve rhad octopus this FN good, it was unbelievable, it must have been braised for hours and then grilled because biting into that tentacle was the happiest time of adult life.
Oxtail: yes everybody says its good, when i had my first bite alongside the creamy polenta its served next to, i thought to myself: That is really, really , really f*n good, i mean thats why i work 80 hours a week, to eat some oxtail that good. holy F, it felt like my mouth was being bitch slapped with amazing flavour, it made it hard to swallow, i wanted it to last forever. kind of like a 3some with 2 girls way out of your league.
The cheese plate was ok, i mean once again nothing special, it was good cheese and slightly burnt toast.
We had these baccala thingies, ive never tried it before, its basically deep fried balls of cod, kinda salty, i dont like cod. looked nice but nothing special, the tripe ragu it came with was delish.
Another comment: im pretty sure my waitress (ya im sexist) was high on some strong blow, because she couldnt stop talking and pacing around the restaurant.
Dessert: apple crossada (i think tha twas the name) also delicious, it was like baked apples with some kind of crust alongside a whipped goat cheese+cream thingie, it was good.
All in all, I would def. come back, great place for a date or just a good ass dinner with your boys. I dont eat carbs so cant comment on the pasta but ive heard its great.
