| - While Grazie usually gets a 5 from us, this last visit was a bit disappointing.
We ordered all our usual favourites. The Varese salad was perfect (arugula with prosciutto, pear, and parmesan). The Catrina (spinach long pasta with pancetta, onions and chicken), and the Torino (stuffed pasta with ricotta and spinach in rose sauce), and Margarita pizza for the kids.
The Catrina is supposed to be seasoned with peppercorn, which usually is very balanced, but today it totally masked the dish and I could barely get it down. We mentioned t to the server who although very nice, spoke to us like we've never had the dish before. We couldn't taste anything but pepper! The Torino was too el dente (again more then usual) and the bottom of the pizza was burnt, and the kids didn't finish it bc of the aftertaste.
The banana chocolate chip cake was ok, and the coffees were smooth.
This visit was far from perfect. Hoping it was just an off day. Will likely come back again in hopes they will redeem themselves.
