| - Impasto is the place to go if you want to experience authentic Italian fine dining in a classy modern setting. This is a perfect location for those "special" moments in your life such like an anniversary, a promotion at work, an engagement or making up to your significant other after screwing up big time.
This place is the real deal when it comes to those special intimate moments, so make it count.
So, let's talk about the food, eh? Impasto runs a very select, limited menu that they excel on. They do sometimes make changes to their menu but they go with their tried and true and deliver fantastic expectations to your taste palette.
I went with their "Chef's selection of artisanal charcuterie" board as an appetizer, their Porchetta plate (Roasted piglet shoulder, rapinis and poached pear) as a main and the chocolate flan for dessert.
The charcuterie board was beautifully presented with about 4 slices of a variety of homemade cold cuts, there was also champagne pate and olives. It was all in all totally delicious! I particularly enjoyed their mortadella and champagne pate. While I did really enjoy the board, sharing it with another person basically limited my portion to about 2 slices of each meat. The price-tag is set at $32....and that pricing is painful for the amount provided.
The Porchetta plate was simply PERFECT!!! This is what gastronomy is allllllll about. The porchetta was crispy on the inside and moist and flavorful on the inside. OH MY GOD. The rapinis were spicy and tasty and the cold poached pears were just the right amount of sweet. I did taste circles around this fantastic dish. I went from the porchetta, to the rapinis to the pear and went back. Salty to spicy to sweet.
MARVELOUS 6 STARS and worth every penny of the $36 price-tag!!!!! Good portion size.
For dessert I had their chocolate flan and it was just OK. It was an ambitious spin to one of my favorite dishes but I tried to be too many things at once and my taste-buds were confused. I also tried their cannoli as well and I'll freely admit it was nowhere to close to the best I've had elsewhere.
The service was on-point all night long, very attentive, very efficient. Not necessarily friendly but all in all very good service.
As for the price-tag... heh.... let's just say that some of these items are quiiiiiite pricey. Some menu items are priced in a way it actually hurts looking at it... for example the cold cuts plate priced at $32. While I certainly appreciate some of these are signature dishes there's a little exaggeration going on here! While I'd love to come back for seconds one day, the price-tag makes it more of rare special thing and maybe that's exactly what ownership wants to accomplish.
Either way, I recommend to try Impasto out. Do it if you want to impress your significant other but be ready to pay the price for your evening.
