| - Groupon got us in; great food and service will bring us back.
We started with the Caprese Rustica. I found the roasted peppers to be a bit overwhelming, BUT... the mozzarella was -by far- the best I've had in a looooong time. You know how most mozzarella (except, amazingly, the cheap 'string cheese' kind) is absolutely flavorless? Even when advertised as 'fresh' or 'bufala'? Well, the mozza here was wonderful - once you separated it from the peppers, it was simply delicious.
The boyfriend had some kind of cannelloni with beef in a white wine tomato sauce. The sauce was incredible... extremely well balanced, you could taste the wine and the tomato. Just lovely. When asked, he said his food was 'really quite good'. (Coming from him, that's a 4-star review. He's not a foodie.)
I had ravioli with portobello mushrooms in a brown sauce. If you're a 'shroom fan, you'll love the dish. The ravioli were large and soft, the filling was super tasty and the sauce was awesome. I had to order more bread to sop it up, it was so yummy.
Service was very good - our waiter was attentive, but not obnoxious, and we were able to enjoy a leisurely meal even on a busy Saturday night.
We'll definitely be back.
