  • 4 stars is the perfect way to describe Taggia. It reaches for 5 star perfection, but just doesn't quite make it. Tthere are so many random intangible things that are keeping it from being a 5 star joint but I can't put my finger on it. Anyway, this place is pretty damn good. The service was very friendly and nice. What impressed me is the support staff. Everyone from the hostess to the bussers to the food runners went out of their way to be over-the-top nice, accomodating and attentive. I swear - no less than THREE seperate managers came by to ask us if everything was to our satisfaction. While some might find this annoying, I found it refreshing. Most managers - as Eminem might say "just don't give a fuck." But at Taggia they DO give a fuck, so yay. Also, the food was surprisingly good. Why do I write "surprisingly?" Because something about the place screamed "this food is going to suck." But it didn't! It was excellent. The pre-dinner bread is awesome. Not just "oh great. bread" type of good bread. It's large chucks of nuts and fresh baked kind of good bread. The burrata - a caprese type dish with arugula, speck and Taggiasche olive pesto was INSANE. Eat this. It's offbeat and delish. Props to the chef for offering a varity of pasta dishes without cream sauce. All the pasta choices looked good to me. I had a difficult time choosing. But the one I chose... HOLLA! I had mushroom ravioli topped with asparagus, and dungeness crab. The mushroom ravioli was DOUBLE INSANE - and possibly one of the best rav's I ever had. However - and this is part of the 4 star-not-5-star part - While the crab asparagus mix was good - it wasn't nearly as good as the ravioli. It was almost a bit fishy and I found myself scraping crab off the pieces of pasta to maintain the integrity of the fresh pasta and mushrooms. Once I seperated the crab and ate it as a seperate side dish things were cool. Dessert - none of it appealed to me so I skipped it. That's huge because I never want to skip dessert. I think people who like European style sweets will be pleased with the selection, though. I'm not sure if I'll be back because this place is so random, but they certainly earned a return visit. I actually feel guilty withholding the 5th star because everyone there tried so hard. Uggg - the trials and tribulations of Yelping... Fine. I'll go back to Taggia. Sometime.
