| - Our visit started off rocky and ended with "meh". We had a reservation but upon arrival we were told there was a wait. Okay, a few minutes, I can understand. But after about 10 minutes the host wanted to seat us at a high top near the bar. We asked if we could sit at a regular table, but because it was set for four, the host didn't want to seat us there :/ (although there was another table of 2 sitting at a 4-top). He ended up seating us there but it didn't leave us with a good first impression.
Onto the food...
Calamari - not good, very little flavor. A little salt in the batter would've made a big improvement. The marinara sauce was good so it made the dish edible, but without it, the calamari would've been tasteless.
Wild Mushroom Ravioli - outstanding! Perfectly cooked and seasoned with a hint of truffle.
Shrimp Parmesan - not what we were expecting, it's like chicken Parmesan but with shrimp. The shrimp is battered and fried with melted cheese on top.
Gnocchi Bolognese - again, sauce was good but the gnocchi had no flavor. Maybe they ran out of salt in the kitchen?? I asked my husband if he tricked me by taking me to a "healthy" restaurant (read: no salt, no flavor). The gnocchi was cooked well, but I was disappointed.
Service was a little slow, but the restaurant was busy. I don't think we'll be back, unfortunately.
