| - We decided to try this spot on the famous gnocchi Tuesday, and wow we were glad we did!
Our server was attentive, kind, and helpful. This definitely helped enhance our experience.
Good wine selection. No draft which is a tad disappointing, but expected.
The meal began with bread and a cannelloni dip. We enjoyed the bean idea, but it wasn't well executed as others have mentioned. The beans were cold, as was the bread. If this has been a common complaint for them, I am surprised they don't change to a better bread that is warm with olive oil and spices or butter. I think they could still do the bean dip, but they definitely need better bread. Everyone wants warm bread at an Italian place! We asked our waiter where the bread came from, and he told us it was from Nova's bakery. I like it's local, but please serve it warm.
Dinner completely turned everything around. Our dishes were excellent! We got the seafood pasta (frutti di mare) and the lobster gnocchi special. Holy cow the gnocchi. Among some of the best I've ever had. I understand now why they only do it one night a week because you can tell it is made fresh. There was a decent amount of lobster in the dish and it was in a pink, cream sauce. Both portions were huge, which made me feel better about the prices. The seafood pasta was nice as well. The seafood was cooked as it should be, and the spicy sauce was different and a nice touch.
We used a groupon, and I feel as though it was a great deal. I think now I may buy some more, so we can come back! Gnocchi Tuesday is the way to go. I think I might only go on Tuesdays haha because I have a feeling their gnocchi is the best thing on the menu.
