| - My friend and I visited The Sicilian Butcher last week for Restaurant Week. The atmosphere/decor is fantastic, and we loved the DJ! The music was great, and it wasn't so loud that we couldn't carry on a conversation. I ordered the steak meatballs over polenta with the mushroom truffle sauce...it was disappointing. It was pretty bland, and the meatballs were fairly dry. In stark contrast was my friend's meal--Uncle Arthur's meatballs over gnocchi with Arrabiata sauce....holy s#*t, it was heaven in a bowl! The meatballs were juicy and flavorful and the gnocchi were perfectly cooked little pillows of dough! They'd told us the sauce would be spicy, but it really wasn't (and I'm very sensitive to spice). It just had the perfect little kick. I'm gonna go back soon and order that combo next time! Finally, we were really impressed with the service and the fact that the owner (or manager?) came to our table and spoke with us for about 5 minutes. So, even though I didn't love my order, there were so many things that I loved about this place, and I intend to go back soon! Oh, and the wine pours are generous, which is always appreciated!
