| - I've been to Dal Toro several times and have had the opportunity to try breakfast, lunch and dinner over the course of my visits.
The breakfast is quite solid, but not extraordinary. The breakfast menu is limited but covers most, if not all, bases. I've ordered the shrimp omelette more than once and it is huge (I cannot finish it). It is filled with salmon, shrimp and feta cheese (!) and comes with a nice slice of avocado on the side. This enormous plate of yum comes with potatoes and a slice of toasted brioche. Cappuccino is pricey (I think $4), but very good.
For lunch, I've ordered the Fra Diavolo pizza from the "Specials" menu. I thoroughly enjoyed it; thin crust, loaded with Andouille sausage and other goodies. It is enough to share (or take leftovers to eat by yourself!) and reasonably priced for a strip restaurant!
Most recently, I had the pleasure of experiencing a nice dinner at Dal Toro. This was the first time I've ever sat inside the restaurant - I normally love to dine on the patio, but it's just too hot for me now! I liked it; it was a nice atmosphere for an intimate dinner for two. I ordered a fettucini from the specials. I cannot recall the rather involved-sounding Italian name of the dish, but it was basically fettucini with cream sauce topped with mushrooms and chopped Italian sausage. It was delicious and I wish I had been able to finish it all! The portions are good-sized for a normal eater, I suppose. I've certainly never left there hungry, but YMMV. My husband ordered a salmon dish, served with string beans and roasted potatoes. I didn't try it, but he said it was excellent. It sure looked good. The bread (served with an olive oil pesto) was fresh and replenished as needed.
Dal Toro has a pretty neat little menu of specialty cocktails. I always mean to try something new, but keep going back to that darn White Chocolate Raspberry Martini. Get one! Or three, whatever. Two usually does me just right! I believe all the drinks from the speciality bar menu were $12 per - yeah, that's a lot, but at least they'll give me Grey Goose in my WCRM.
Finally, the desserts! They do a decent Tiramisu. Certainly not my favorite ever, but middle-of-the-road and a safe bet. I've also tried the Tartuffo ice cream and it was delicious.
The bottom line - can get very pricey, but usually worth it. Dinner for two, using a 25% Facebook promo still set me back a Franklin. I think it's a pretty good representation of a typical "casual" strip spot, pricewise. I've only had good service and food here, so I would return (and have!). Check out the cars and retail shop while you are there!
