| - Clearly one of the best in town. Corey D. thinks so, the James Beard folks think so, my Spousal Unit thinks so... so who am I to argue? To be honest, I haven't eaten here that often but every time I have, I've been ba-lown a-way!
This night the S.U. and I came for an anniversary dinner (insert big number). We started with an antipasta di mare and an insalata d'indivia served with a half-bottle carafe of an excellent northern Italian white. Perfect combo to get us ready for the boar ragu on paparadelle and the special, a veal cutlet stuffed with Italian ham and a nice cheese I can't pronounce. Washing these two dishes down with carafe of Multipulciano (one bite, one sip, one bite, one sip, repeat, etc.) was dream-like. So rich, complex, full of dense meatiness ..... wow! We couldn't finish both dishes and yet somehow still had room to split a small desert. (Mmmm boar ragu for lunch!!!!). Let me just say that in a town where some of the best tasting dining experiences can leave you a bit annoyed by the small portions, that is not the case at OP.
I love that their house wines can be had by the glass, half or full bottle carafes. I love how their specials are so creative. Per me, รจ come buono come si arriva. Bravo!
