| - Had dinner here last night for a birthday celebration party of 4. I was really looking forward to this since the reviews seemed pretty good. I did get a little nervous because the outside looked like a little hole in the wall but I kept my mind open.
To start, greeter seemed a little unhappy so I just smiled and asked how she was doing. She seemed to smile then well ok, we had 3 people ahead of us. No prob its a Saturday night. (Please note they only take reservations for groups 5 people and up and are only open between 5:30 to 9:30). A took a little bit to get seated to a table that was empty the whole time we were waiting. Ok, still open minded. I then went to the ladies room. The reason I say this part is apparently during this time, the rest of the party got to meet people who worked there that I didn't and got to hear the special of the day. By the time I got back water was just being served.
We all decided on what we wanted and then we waited. We drank down some water and got it refilled before our orders were taken. During this time, water was spilled on my sister-in-laws dress but everyone, including the chef/owner seemed to be very apologetic about it. So we finally ordered. I shared a Gnocchi Gorgonzola and a Risotto Norcina. We had to wait, we didn't order appetizers, but they brought us bread. Just bread, none of the other carbs like butter or olive oil, just bread. To me the bread was ok but everyone else seems to like it.
Finally after a wait our order gets to our table and HOLY COW. It was so good. I just couldn't believe how good it was. I couldn't stop eating it. I was just amazing so we finished both the plates.
After we were done with dinner we did order dessert, this is after all a birthday celebration. We ordered a Handmade Canolis and Profitteros. Once again, I was blown away on how good this was. Also, this was the 1st time I had a taste of a Canoli and will never except anything less then how good this was. Both desserts were just amazing.
My conclusion: Service was a bit slow but the food was so worth the wait. We are very picky about the Italian food we eat and are definitely go back for more. I would like to test out their wine bar also. Bottomline, this hole in the wall is a winner and I hope they stay around for a very long time. Thank you for the amazing foods last night.
