what a delicious dinner here. reservations are highly recommended for a friday night though quite a few 2-top and our 4-top got seated with barely a wait slightly later in the evening.
pasta is made in-house and several items are boasted to be shipped straight from the mother boot. it's nice to see (taste!) that the vegetable bolognese, meat bolognese, and lasagna, which (on paper) appear to all have more or less the same sauce -- all turned out significantly different.
FETTUCCINE VEGETABLE BOLOGNESE ($19) - wide variety of vegetables contribute to an acidic and vibrant sauce that has some excellent tang
LASAGNA ($19) - soft sheets of pasta separated by meat sauce, which tastes more "grounded" than the vegetarian tomato sauce
TAGLIATELLE BOLOGNESE ($18) - each bite is so. satisfyingly. meaty. pasta wasn't as bouncy as i was hoping for.
WILD MUSHROOM RAVIOLI ($20) - in a cream sauce which tasted a tad sweet due to the natural sweetness of dairy; would have liked more even amounts of filling as some ravioli seemed a little empty but otherwise the filling was delicious and fragrant, but not overpowered by the white truffle
as we wrapped up our evening, we got a peek at the vitello parmigiana maybe? pasta tossed with parmesan flambe'd straight in the wheel. how exciting! smelled good enough to have dinner round two -- though considering portion sizes here, would've put us straight into hibernation mode (mmm i'm ok with that).
