Immediately upon walking into Banfi you can't help but notice how hot, social and bustling the place is. While we waited for a seat as the place was packed on a tuesday night, we got a complimentary serving of tasty bruschetta.
For our meal, me and my dining companion shared the buffalo mozzarella pizza and the gnocchi in a light summer dressing. The pizza was very good, and was made with a nice thin whole wheat crust. The best part was the cheese and herbs that made me eat way too much. The gnocchi was very interesting with nice peppers, mushrooms and an olive oil based dressing. I liked how they served us each half of both dishes. On top of this, the wine list was great and varied in price and variety. Our waiter did a great job of pairing a nice Syrah with our meal. So while having mixed feelings on cheating on Grazie my favorite local Italian spot, I agreed to venture out and will definitely be back to this great italian place.
