| - We came here for my birthday dinner after hearing our friend's rave review.
The restaurant is tucked inside the JW Marriott, which is a bit off the main street. Overall it was a pleasant experience. Our waiter was from Rome, so we followed his recommendations. Since we were hungry, and being our carnivore selves, I ordered Veal Loin (Saltimbocca di Vitello) which topped with prosciutto, on a bed of mascarpone potato. Bf ordered Rib Eye (Bistecca Alla Fiorentina) with gorgonzola gratin and olive oil. I thought mine was a bit too salty, and a bit messy considering the veal sits on top of the mashed potato. I really didn't care for it.
Bf's rib eye, on the other hand, was delicious. It was cooked to perfection, exactly medium rare. The sauce wasn't overwhelming. The portion was HUGE though, his rib eye with bone in looked like it was about 24 oz !
Before our main course, we were given a small complimentary sample of steak topped with alfafa sprouts, which was nice and yummy. I wish I had ordered this for my main course instead.
I would probably come back again if I happen to be in the area.
