I ate here this past Saturday night for dinner with three other dining companions. We arrived at around 7 PM and were quoted for a 35 minute wait upon which the hostess suggested that we go to the wine bar in the back. The wine bar is not exactly in the same building but is a few feet out of the back door of Il Pizzaiolo. The wine bar was bursting at its seams for the first five minutes that we were there we could not move much past the door. Eventually the crowd quieted down and I was able to see a beautiful bar, a fireplace with chairs, bookcases full of books on wine and Italy and some trendy paintings. After about an hour wait we were finally seated in the main dining room.
The main dining dining room was nothing special in my opinion as there was nothing that I can remember that really stuck out. Our waiter came to our table quickly and our group ordered the Arancini since we were hungry. It came out six balls to the plate on a bed of marinara sauce and tasted pretty good. For dinner I was having a hard time deciding on whether I should have a handmade pasta or the pizza and eventually decided to get both. My pasta entree was the Paglia E Fieno which consisted of handmade tagliatelle with prosciutto in a cream sauce. The tagliatelle was made with either spinach or eggs and the alternating green and beige color combined with the color of the meat gave a nice visual presentation to the backdrop of the cream sauce. It also tasted wonderful and none was left on my plate whenever I was done. My pizza was the Diavola since I like spicy things and consisted of spicy salami, chile pepper, basil and different cheese. Once again the colors were nice and I absolutely loved the pizza, especially some of the pieces where I got what seemed to be larger than normal gobs of cheese. My dining companions all also complimented their meals and we were more than happy with the service.
The bottom line for me is that I would definitely come back here in the future. The food was fantastic and not as expensive as I had expected while the service was good. I would recommend that you either get their earlier or later on the weekend though to avoid the large crowd that we ran into.
