Wow! Talk about a fantastic meal from start to finish. We opted to sit outside as it was a beautiful evening and pretty much had the whole patio to ourselves for almost our whole meal. There are just 6 tables outside in the garden area and there are heaters and a firepit/fireplace that help to keep the chill off.
For starters we had the Polpettini ..(the housemade meatballs with polenta fries) and the Panzanella con Granchio ... (jumbo lump blue crab, brioche croutons, tomato,
cucumber, tomato fonduta) .. both appetizers were presented beautifully and were quite tasty. There were nice sized morsels of the crab which complemented the Panzanella very well. The only thing I really didn't care for were the polenta fries which I found to be a bit on the bland side.
Then came the main course .. my dinner partner ordered the Lasagna Bolognese (fresh pasta layered with veal, pork and beef ragĂș) which he said was almost as good as his mom's. :) I chose the Veal Parmigiana (thinly pounded veal chop, melted mozzarella, pomodoro sauce) .. which ended up being gigantic. It was perfectly seasoned and prepared, just the right amount of breading, sauce and cheese. DELICIOUS! It was every bit as delicious for lunch the next day as well.
Even though we were both stuffed after the entrees, we definitely wanted to try dessert and boy were we glad. The Tiramisu was spectacular and we both quickly forgot how full we were :) ..
The service was fast and the server knowledgeable and professional. She and her team did a great job efficiently without being overbearing. Kudos to Sinatra for a great all around dining experience and we will certainly be back soon!
