| - I just feel like this space has a little bit of an identity crisis. An enoteca is a wine bar, right? The atmosphere does indeed fit that description - loud space and crowded tables. And the wine I sampled was quite delicious, however I felt like the menu was mixed between the bar side of things and the fine dining side.
My appetizer of arancini was good and my entree of scialatielli with fresh pasta, lobster, shrimp and a spicy tomato sauce was delicious, but for $34 I should have gone next door to Scarpetta for the same delicious pasta, but a much nicer atmosphere.
Maybe if I really only wanted pizza or salad, this would be the spot, but a good portion of their menu is dedicated to steaks, veal chops, short ribs and other higher end items that didn't seem to fit the space.
For dessert I tried their "famous" salted caramel budino. The sauce was delicious, but the pudding had an unpleasant texture that was slightly starchy. I would imagine it just hadn't been cooked properly and is probably quite good usually.
