| - Visiting the east coast makes me realize how bad the average bay area Italian place is. Sure you can find good stuff, but the standard on the east coast is way higher.
Time to snap back to reality.
In bay area terms, this is a solid Italian restaurant, offering familiar items such as gnocchi, polenta, and risotto. I actually quite like the way they prepared their pasta, and the dishes come in quite an American portion too (read: big).
However, the food itself tasted a little less fresh than I'd like. Maybe the harsh winter was to blame, as it was still quite chilly in May when we revisited lately. Either way, after living on the other coast and longing for good Italian food, this does satisfy a little bit with the well-prepared pasta, but it also leaves me longing for more.
