S & V, you are the one
Only you 'neath the moon or under the valley of the sun
Whether near to me or far
Your balsamic, yummy, how you are
I think I'll Yelp, day and night
S & V, why is it so
That this pasta for me, lingers wherever I go?
In a roaring, hour's boom
In a gaze, of Sophia Loren's room
I think I'll Yelp, day and night
Okay I can't stop looking at Sophia Loren; she's so glamorous and beautiful. Needless to say, the entire restaurant is well laid out and aesthetically pleasing; very open with a welcoming feel.
I came late one night with some friends to grab small bites and drinks. We started with a Caprese Salad, Calamari, and some a bruschetta board. One of my friend ordered their Fettuccini pastas since she was really hungry. The mozzarella on our caprese salad was tad bit stiff and hard, as if it was left on the top part of the freezer, but the balsamic top was solid and on point. The calamari came out piping hot right off the press and we let it cool a bit but was good afterwards. The marinara that came along with it was sweet and zesty and had a strong creamy texture that held well.
For our bruschetta we ordered the four; Pear & Brie, PLT, Spicy Salami, and Salmon. I really loved the fig jam on the pear and brie, bringing out a earthy taste while sweet because of the drizzled honey and finalized with the crisp pear and subtle texture of the brie. The PLT had prosciutto, arugula, balsamic, and mascarpone. Probably my favorite because the balsamic again was solid and sweet along with the bitter arugula and salty prosciutto; make this bite a long song to your palate. The spicy salami was alright I thought; just a cold pizza I thought haha. As for the salmon, it was nothing I've had since it was smoked salmon topped with some pickled capers and had a strong dill flavor.
Moreover, I had a small bite of my friends fettuccini and it was definitely creamy with a hint of garlic which really brought of the flavors of this pasta.
In the end, S & V or Stone and Vine really hit on some spots bringing out traditional Italian recipes along with a modern take on it. The place again is beautiful and the service was on key all night. Definitely a spot I can call home especially during Happy Hour! - Enjoy!
