| - Tucked away down a dark alley off King, this is a great place to take your New York friends out for dinner, if you want them to think that you "know" places.
Decor is lovely, drinks are lovely, service is fabulous and food is amazing.
I'll agree with the other reviewers when I say the garlic rosemary knots were soooo delicious. The pizza was excellent...real cheese, cured meat and tangy sauce. And scissors to cut with. Scissors!!!
I had the gnocchi with pesto, and it was clear that it was made fresh in-house, as it thankfully lacked the rubbery texture most gnocchi has at other places.
We also had the daily cheese selection which was freaking amazing. We sampled 3 different cheeses, served with 3 tapenades. Our server was extremely knowledgeable, and helped us select the most amazing cheeses flown in fresh that day.
Dessert was ok. We had the doughnuts - one was filled with an apple sauce-like filling, and the other was a caramel custard. I say it was only ok, as it did taste just like apple sauce, and the custard had a bit of a disarming chemical-y flavour.
The service here is excellent, and the employees really know their menu and are very helpful with recommendations. Would definitely go back, but a $200 meal is best for a special occasion only!
