After watching a movie, I decided to stop by for dinner. The dinner crowd had probably rushed off. but the service was still impeccable. My server was professional and friendly. He made sure my water was always filled. Brought fresh bread and served the oil and rosemary on my side plate.
I ordered the pasta special (sardines in tomatoe penne pasta) and a chianti clasico. This was so satisfying. Simple ingredients elevated by quality preparation. To be frank. I was thinking of the risotto but once I heard the special, I was torn and decided to get the special. No regrets.
I frequently patronize another Italian restaurant in the neighbourhood and felt like I was cheating the entire time I was there. But it was so delicious! I guess I have to return to taste the risotto!
