I stopped by here last night for dinner with my wife. We didn't really get to see much of the inside since it was a nice night and we wanted to sit outside. The outside of the restaurant had a nice view of the city and while roped off from the rest of the sidewalk it didn't prevent a panhandler from asking us for money.
For our entrees my wife and I decided to split the fig and the pig pizza and also the carbonara pasta. The pig part of the pizza was prosciutto and it contrasted nicely with the sweetness of the figs. However there were some instances with the pizza where I just got the prosciutto without the fig and thought that those bites were a bit too salty for me. The pizza crust itself was nice and crispy and also had a good garlic flavor when eaten without toppings. Our entree was the carbonara pasta and whenever it was first brought out to us I thought that it looked like a small portion for the price. However, the bowl was deceiving and there was much more pasta than it looked like. The carbonara was made up of house-made tagliatelle with house-made black pepper bacon, a fresh egg and Parmigiano-Reggiano. While I really ended up enjoying the taste of the pasta, most of that was due to the overpowering flavor of the pepper on the bacon. I will say that the noodles themselves were pretty decent and I did really enjoy the creaminess of the sauce as well. For dessert my wife and I decided to split their pumpkin cheesecake. It was rich and decadent with a great pumpkin flavor that we both enjoyed.
The bottom line for me is that I will be back here again in the future. All of the food that we had was good and I think that Proper is a nice addition to the downtown dining scene.
