| - Man, I really wanted to like this place, I mean, really, really like it. Lick the plate like it. So maybe my 3 star review is in reflection that it wasn't that. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't great, either. Just. Ok. Three stars.
I dig eclectic restaurants (see Medizona). I love tossing flavor combos together in a way I hadn't imagined, so, for that, CCiao gets props. I had the espresso rubbed filet (I like both of those things!) with smashed yukon potatoes (that sounds good) and a cabernet demi-glaze (whoa, cool). Except, this dish was kinda the anti-Gestalt. The sum was less than the parts.
I wanted to like it. I really did.
