| - I've been here twice now, once with my family and a couple of family friends, and once on a date night. This place is good for both, I would just recommend making a reservation, cause it can get pretty busy for dinners.
My sister and I shared a calzone the first time. Portions were big, and we were pretty full by the end of it. But of course, we had to order dessert. Now, at most restaurants, desserts end up tinier than you expect. Or maybe it's just me and my huge sweet tooth. So, everybody ordered a dessert for themselves. When the desserts got to our table, I'm sure all our eyes popped out of our heads; they were XL sized desserts! Because I was the only one in my family that lives in Madison, I got to take all the leftovers home. Dessert for breakfast is always okay in my opinion! The flourless chocolate cake was extremely dense, in a good way. But it was also very filling and would have been best shared between two or even three people. The nutella crepes were delicious, but then again, nutella on just about anything would have been delicious. The creme brulee was also really good.
The second time I went there, I ordered the Shrimp and Scallop pasta, and my boyfriend had the Butternut Squash Ravioli. Mine was really good, except I wish they would have seared the scallops, and been a little more generous with the seafood. I only had two pieces of medium-sized scallops, and 3 pieces of shrimp. The ravioli was delicious, albeit the portion size for this was also a little small. Or again, maybe I just have a big appetite and I like to "share" from our plates a lot. For the smaller portion sizes in my dish and his dish, I removed a star.
Overall, pretty good restaurant and I will be returning again for sure. Next time, maybe I'll try their pizzas, and I'm definitely coming back for the dessert. One for myself, of course.
