| - I decided to take a study break with a buddy and we shuffled over to Sergio's (I live in the apartment complex right behind). It was later than I usually eat dinner, but not that late. It was also Wednesday night, not exactly the busiest of nights in the restaurant business, so the place was nearly deserted. Service was good and attentive--anything less would have been very noticeable.
The bread was good, chewy, almost-sourdough served with pesto butter, light on the pesto. Nice enough. The salads were iceberg salads with some tomato and carrot and onion on them and what I think may have been a honey dijon dressing. Since I don't like salads with lots of "stuff" in them, I was perfectly happy with mine. I didn't taste my companion's entree--he had the bracciole (sp?) and enjoyed it.
But it's my tortellini entree--just cheese tortellini in a cream sauce with pancetta, that is why I rate this place a four. Let me tell you--it's a cardiologist's nightmare. I could almost feel my arteries hardening with the first bite. The cream sauce was rich, thick, and absolutely to die for. The pancetta made it salty, so for a salt-lover like me (and fortunately I have doctor's orders to eat more salt--honest!), it was perfection. The only negative thing I have to say about the tortellini in cream sauce is that it's so rich and satisfying that I didn't want dessert afterwards.
