| - WOW. If any restaurant could be more impressive than Pizza A Metro, this is it!! From the moment I walked in the door, I was blown away! The decor is pretty much impeccable. Let me ask you this. When was the last time you walked into a just-opened restaurant and saw white linen table-cloths? We were served water in stemware. They're obviously going for a very formal vibe here. The atmosphere is a little loud, despite the incredible little side "rooms" created by sheer curtains. This helps make up for the apparent lack of booths, but I thought it made our little nook incredibly intimate while adding to the options for larger groups.
The food. AMAZING, of course. First comes the bread, pretty much the same as Pizza A Metro, only (if possible) better. Perfect temperature - very warm, but not too hot. The vegetable spread stuff was about the same as well - which is to say, delicious. I ordered the farfalle pasta with smoked chicken ($17), and loved every bite. The cream sauce, the pasta itself, the asparagus, and finally the hearty flavors of the smoked chicken made this an incredible dish. YUM.
I ordered a helping of the tiramisu for dessert, and before it arrived, the manager brought complimentary shots of limoncello. DELICIOUS!! During dessert, I remarked to my dining companion that this restaurant might be the best thing to ever happen to me. I was only partially kidding. WOW that's good food. Good, attentive service, long wine list (three pages!), great atmosphere, truly amazing slightly Americanized Italian food, SIGN ME UP! The whole place adds up to an amazing combination.
Before I went here, I was curious whether they still have pizza at this location. I can confirm that they have "wood oven pizza" on the menu, and would surmise that it's about the same as at Pizza A Metro. The entrees ranged from around 20 dollars to 28 for a lobster tail, and there were a number of more affordable options on the menu along with the pasta (pizzas were about $16 each, with no sizes listed). Dessert options were $6 each, and included the 4 options from Pizza A Metro, as well as creme brulee and cheesecake.
