| - I had high expectations for Nora Grey, but I don't think they were fully met. Loved the antipasti and primi, the secondi were questionable. We started with cocktails, the Old Fashioned was masterfully executed. They didn't have my Tagliattela and I ended up trying the Cedro Bramble, which was too icy, so icy that my lips were burning because of the cold, I guess a straw would have helped in that case. The zucchini flowers stuffed with sausage were divine and the squid filled with risotto complemented the absolute happiness we experienced with the appetizers. The primi are offered in two sizes and we shared parpadelle with snow crab, which was extremely good. The variations of the tomato sauce in any of these dishes were amazing as well. My scallops were perfectly seared, I only couldn't figure out why the peas and pancetta had to float in a transparent liquid in my dish. Every time i would cut a scallop it will inevitably soak in that liquid and its beautiful taste will be lost. My sweet heart got a squab that we found undercooked. The deserts were nothing to write about either, I could have made the same and even better. The wine list of Nora Grey is impressive, we decided to order wine by the glass so we can try different things and the recommendations for digestive from our hostess were outstanding. Overall nice experience, but when I come next time would definitely focus on appetizers and the home made pasta!
