| - Tagliani is our "stand-by" ... we visit at least once a month and have dined here many times over the past 8 years.
The Caesar salad is dressed with a fairly true Caesar dressing, without a lot of vinegar. As always, was good.
Rieseling wine same as always. But I asked young man/server if they stocked my "NEW FAVE" wine: ROSCATO, a sweet red from Italy...he said no. I said well tell the owner it has just been requested. (He chuckled annoyingly, as if to say "yeah right!" so I then told him...THAT IS HOW the industry improves...by listening to the customers who pay the rent!) He was younger, a new server whom we had never met...
Salmon was a fresher taste last night than usual. This establishment manages to broil it and still keep it moist, yet fully cooked inside...a very good reflection on the chef!
Ravioli was over-cooked last night, sadly. Too soft, yet normally just right level of al dente.
So, 2 things: Bring in ROSCATO red sweet wine. It is wonderful!
Also, your Salmon has not been as fresh-tasting in the past year or so...as it was very fresh for the past 8 years. have you changed vendors? Example: Macaroni Grill (a chain) and Christos in central phoenix, both consistently serve salmon that is NOT fishy! It can be done, with the right sea food vendor and buying / storage habits!)
This will remain one of our regular destinations. But the stoic-faced ownership NEEDS TO LISTEN!
