| - Came here for dinner, because we had a large party we sat in the outdoors area. The indoor area was definitely a lot nicer! The outdoor area didn't have enough A/C, so I wasn't as comfortable eating my food as I would have liked. Plus there's always people walking by the forum shops and starring at you eating! We started out with the calamari fritti and pizzeta trevi. The fried calamari was excellent, lightly battered and deep fried to perfection! It was served with this tomato caper sauce which tasted very good! The pizzeta is like a flatbread; topped with some herbs and parmesan...it was light and tasted excellent! The one VERY DISSAPOINTING thing was the free bread they served us, it was COLD & STALE bread! Unacceptable for an Italian restaurant! Minus 1 star for such horrible bread, honestly don't even serve bread if it's cold and stale, that's just terrible! Plus they served it with olive oil, and no vinegar!
Moving onto the entrees, I tried their special of the day fettuccini. It was a fettuccini with pancetta, sweet peas, mushrooms, and sun-dried tomatoes in a cream sauce. The dish was excellent! It was heavy, rich, creamy, fattening, and loaded with flavor! They definitely didn't skimp on the cream, butter, oil, or whatever base they used to make the sauce...maybe they used the fat from the pancetta to make the sauce...whatever it was, tasted excellent! Probably the best fettuccini dish I have had yet! Plus, the noodles where cooked al dente, just the way I like it. The dish was a tad expensive at $32, I mean there really weren't any expensive ingredients used to make the dish, and the portion wasnt huge, but I would probably go back and order it again just because it was that good!
I also tried a little of the chicken parmigiana, which was ok but nothing special. The seafood linguini wasn't bad, the seafood was fresh and the lobster cream sauce wasn't bad. The deep dish pizza was disappointing, they need to add more cheese to the pizza; there was way too much dough and tomato sauce! The meat lasagna was ok, it could have been bigger. The fazzoletto trevi tasted excellent! Out of all the dishes, I liked the pasta dishes the most, so I am guessing those will all be good dishes. The other dishes were ok, but I have had better.
I thought he prices here are a tad high, I think it comes out to be around $30-35 a person if you share an appetizer or dessert. The fried calamari is excellent! The pasta dishes were cooked perfect, but they could work on a few of their meat entrees and pizzas. The place was packed on a Saturday night, reservations are definitely required! I would also recommend sitting in the indoors area versus the patio, because there isn't enough A/C in the patio, and who wants a bunch of bystanders walking around and starring at your food while you eat! This restaurant would have deserved a 4 star if they didn't serve cold and stale bread to us, that's minus 1 star!
