I came here tonight for a birthday dinner with my girlfriends. As we were seated, our waiter told us about the $6 Martini promotion... BONUS! It was sheer coincidence that there was this promotion after talking about our favorite martinis on our street car ride to Bar Italia.
Both the exterior and interior of this joint are aesthetically pleasing. Portion sizes are generous and is reflected in the price. My main course was the risotto - filled with vegetables and chicken. I was impressed! For dessert I had the panna cotta, which is made on site. It was absolutely delicious and I would recommend to anyone. It was sweet, but not too sweet that you couldn't enjoy the dessert.
I would like to come back in the summer when I can down a couple of martinis while looking out on to College Street.
In short, I recommend:
- Lychee martini as a cocktail
- Risotto as a main
- Panna Cotta as a dessert
