| - I agree with Ashley D. This place is beautiful, the decor in amazing and the kitchen looks impeccable, however I didn't feel like I want to come back as a place I would like to hang out. We went with another couple, who suggested the place. The food is not bad, however it is not memorable. As a native Italian, I know pasta and pizzas. I stated with the Heirloom Beets salad, that was delicious. I think my favorite item of the night. For my entree, I had the Tortelloni, they were good, however I think they are overworking the pasta. There were spots that were really tough at the seams of the pasta. By the way, the portion for this dish is really small, which for me it ok since I am always watching what I eat. The filling, made with mascarpone was great. I was noticing while we were eating at one of the high top tables that one of the kitchen members was beating the heck out of the pasta. I have to say, though I was coveting their pasta machine. The wonders of automation, I have to crank my pasta maker. I think I should get me one of those, before my mom's next visit. My hubby had the House-made sausage pizza. Again, the dough was so overworked that the pizza was too chewy and not in a good way. My friend had the Gigli, a pasta with pesto sauce, very nice. Her husband had The Pig pizza. He left all the crust since it was too chewy. The dessert they push is the Salted Caramel Budino, it is good, but as a sweet tooth person, I didn't finish it and that is a lot to say. Not much dimension or texture, just pudding like textures all the way. On the other hand, my hubby's dessert, the Affogato was delicious.
