  • Good dinner was had by myself and my companion at Bar Italia on Monday February 24. We were there around quarter to 7 in the evening and at first were the only patrons in the place, but it filled a bit more later on. Blame it on Monday! Anyways, they were out of calamari, but the same bed of mixed greens was a gracious host to a few delicious and garlicky seared shrimp. Our other appetizer was one of the most interesting I ever tried in any Italian restaurant. 2 pieces of grilled crusty bread, each spread with herbed ricotta., and on top of it arugula, prosciutto, shaved parmigiano reggiano and fresh fig. Very good and original, great flavour combo! The mains now. My companion had vitello ai funghi,veal scaloppini with shiitake mushroms, al dente broccolini, shallot jus and a generous sideof gnocchi in gorgonzola sauce. I had spaghetti puttanesca. A textbook version with capers, black olives, anchovies,chopped tomatoes with a nice addition: seared filets of sardines. Fresh, good and real sardines, not stinky kippers from a can. Wine was a half liter of Ripasso and the split dessert was a slice of chocolate truffle cake. Capuccino and doppio espresso macchiato finished the meal. Now the pros. This kitchen is good. Not the best (Buca, Noce and even La Bruschetta are leagues ahead in my book) but the food is delicious and reliable without being overly original. Worthy of repeat visits,especially with a group as the prices are reasonable. Atmosphere is trendy without any hipster vibe. Two things that sightly annoyed me: no debit payment available. Credit or cash only. Also, maybe it was because it was a slow night, but I thought our waiter, while very friendly was a tad agressive on the upselling. No need to insist on the chocolate cake before the antipasti arrive! Anyways, for 150. 00 for 2, it is good overall but not memorable.
