| - What makes this place so special? It's a NORTHERN Italian Restaurant, which means it's DIFFERENT from the heavy-Southern Italian food we Americans are more used to. Seeing the reviews on here, I'm guessing that a lot of folks were not expecting the difference?
What we learned (as visitors on a Food Tour), is that Northern Italian cuisine is lighter. Smaller. Which is interesting, because it was the heaviest food we were treated to on our food tour. We enjoyed a nice wine, marvelous focaccia (olive, tomato and onion varieties were all great), and my FAVE which was a marvelous scrumptious very thin and oh-so tasty pizza:
Tagliatella 15 Tomato, mozzarella, fried eggplant, Parmigiano-Reggiano drizzled with honey and balsamico glaze. Oh MY, this was so delicious, I actually asked for a doggie bag when our group didn't finish it. My Italian Grandma was on my shoulder saying "honey don't waste it", which I was in full agreement with anyway.
The secret to enjoying this awesome restaurant is to expect the unexpected. I can't wait to go back and try more things!
