I'm impressed. Here's what I like:
- Table bread is warm. It comes with balsamic and olive oil, but the balsamic is very thick, helping it cling to the bread. (Don't eat too much before you entree arrives.)
- Salads are fresh and unique - not the basic "bag of greens."
- Entrees are very good. My pasta dish was very well flavored, the pasta was cooked correctly (not overdone), and everything was well balanced.
- We also ordered pizza, which was excellent. It is a fairly simple pizza, with a fairly thin crust, tomato sauce that is "tomatoey" and not too sweet, and a decent amount of cheese.
- Service was professional.
- The setting is nice. It's not a huge place, but there is more seating inside than I expected from the outside. It's well decorated as well.
The only negative was some cooks in the kitchen speaking loudly (and dropping F-bombs...), with their sound pouring out into the dining area - not so cool.
