Ufficio caught my attention when I asker two chefs from another restaurant this question. Which restaurant would you dine and recommend. So since Winterlicious was on, I decided to give it a try.
I like it how they use text to remind your reservations and when you respond they reply promptly too. This aspect is very good.
From the Winterlicious menu, I've selected the insalata di cavoletti di Bruxelles as the appetizer. Basically, it was shredded Brussels sprout with smoked mackerel. I did enjoy the smoked mackerel and can eat that as snack alone, but feel that the dish does not have enough dressing and I can't really taste the anchovy.
Main course: Lasagne di Pesce- I can taste a few pieces of lobster and fresh crab meat. Having said that in between the layers, I find it bland. The top layer was too dry. This is a creative dish as you don't find seafood lasagna often. For my final course, the formaggio. There were four different types of cheese. I wish the waitress would tell me what each ones were. The guest beside me had the same problem, she flagged a waitress down to ask what one of the cheeses were. The response was like "the soft one? I will go find out" then she had to go back to ask. Anyways, I don't know if I set my expectations too high or again there is a difference with Winterlicious standards.
