Normally Wisconsin was never on my list for "places to travel to", however since I came here for work I decided to check out downtown Madison with a coworker. We were easily able to get a reservation for 6 the day before and were seated promptly even though we were 30 minutes early. This is definetly one of my favorite restaraunts in Madison because the produce and meats are grown locally in WI. You can taste the freshness with every bite.
I tried the Pork Pappardelle which is a homemade papparedelle pasta, with Fox Valley Berkshire pork sausage & San Marzano tomato ragu, cherry tomatoes, house-made ricotta, Grana Padano, and green onions. WOW,I literally inhaled all of it within 5 minutes and wished there was more. Three of us got the pork papparedelle and we ALL LOVED IT!
We were so hyped on how deliciuos dinner was we had high expectations for dessert. When we asked the server she recommended the chocolate cake. I was so full from dinner that I didn't want anything, however when she said the chocolate beet cake was delicious I was game on! The cakes was a disapointment. It was a HUGE piece that was dry (which is surprising because isn't the beets supposed to make it moist), cold and I felt like someone just took it out the refrigerator and just cut it. I like my cake at room temperature or HOT! But we all learned our lesson, and next time I'll just stick to the entrees.
