  • We live in the neighborhood and wanted to try something new. Encouraged by the reviews, we decided to give the place a try, despite some skepticism about the rave reviews for what often turns out as merely adequate. The place was fairly busy at 7:00p on a Saturday, but ended up absolutely packed an hour later. We were greeted by a friendly hostess and owner Michele, once I started speaking Italian, changed our seating to a better spot. After getting to know each other a little, he told us to relax and that he would take care of us with a selection of their best, no need to agonize over menu choices. We were happy to oblige him, and were left with choosing the wine from a good list: a half liter of Brunello, which was followed by a fabulous Tignanello. Antipasto came, with sampling a of grilled shrimp and calamari, a Caprese salad, a warm fungi salad, and prosciutto and Parmesan. All excellent, especially the shrimp. Main course was a sampling of the tenderest, most delicate Gnocchi with a fabulous white sauce; and a sampling of wild boar ragu pappardelle, a dish typical of Tuscany and one which I've had there many times. This one was as good or better, not to miss as your pasta main. Second was a sampling of a grilled spigola, a delicate Mediterranean white fish. This for me was the highlight, it was done to perfection, which a slight char and absolutely fine seasoning that brought the best to the dish. The other main sampling was a nicely rare beef tenderloin with mash potatoes, asparagus, and brocoletti. Finally, we were treated to dessert on the house, a chocolate ganache and cheese cake. Service was friendly, unpretentious, and attentive, most or all waiters were fluent in Italian and well versed in their wines and food. The place was buzzing by 8:00p, and the only disappointment was a rather hefty bill, even accounting for the wine choices. If you can look past the price, this is probably one of the best Italian meals I had in a long while, and the restaurant would be at home with fine choices in the center or south of Italy. Bravo Michele e grazie!
