| - My boyfriend organized a surprise party here for my birthday back in September, we got the appetizer platter for every table - consisting of cured meats, cheeses, bread, olives etc, it was a fabulous start to the meal. We basically ordered every pizza on the menu, since I'm allergic to tomatoes I only sampled the white pizzas - the duck confit, the mushroom and the sausage with chili oil, all were spectacular. Fresh, vibrant tasting. Dessert, we ordered most of them for the guests to share, panna cotta which I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who liked it, mini donuts - who doesn't love them, tiramisu - so creamy and delicious and some gelato. The evening was great, service was spectacular. We were so excited we decided to go back several months later for another try. We went with my mom, boyfriend and sister, we ordered apps, the ricotta gnocchi fritti which were so delicious little balls of basiclly fired cheese how can you go wrong. I ordered the braised beef shank which was actually so disgusting, it was almost all fat, the polenta it was served on was cold and bland. When our pizzas cme they were soggy and almost runny, my sisters margarita pizza had a tomato soup effect going on in the middle. My pizza - the duck that I loved the first time I tried, was also very moist and was just ehhhhh. Sad to say but I've had better from pizza pizza. My mom and boyfriend spilt the sausage, they however had no complaints. The reason I'm giving this place a 3 is because of my first experience, the food was so good as was the service but I can't say ill be going back for dinner anytime soon. Oh and as a p.s. they offer you regular or sparking water when you come in, but what they don't tell you is that if you opt for sparkling it will cost you $3 a bottle. Rip off.
