A nice find in Allison Park. I've lived here over 4 years and even though I knew it existed, I had never been motivated to try it. We went here to celebrate a friend's 30th birthday and were seated in a private room in the back with glass walls and ceiling. The view of the falling snow made for a beautiful backdrop but some dangerous roads later at night.
The table started with the antipasta platter and the flatbread with goat cheese, mushrooms, spinach and tomatoes. The flatbread was a must have if you go there and to be honest, the best part of my meal. It had such strong, great flavors. The antipasta platter was good too. For dinner, I ordered an item off the weekend special menu: potato and Dijon crusted tilapia with a red pepper sauce and asparagus for $24. The meal also came with soup or salad, and I opted for the spicy, black bean soup. The soup was good but it was very thick so if you don't love black beans it was not something you should try. The asparagus was grilled perfectly and tasted delicious. The tilapia was ok and was the least favorite party of my meal. It was cooked well but I couldn't taste any Dijon and despite my love of potatoes, there was something that I can't put my finger on that I didn't like about the crusting. Maybe the crust was too thick and just wasn't crunchy enough but I'm really not sure what it was?
We had two servers for our table (group of about 15 people in our party) and they were great. They kept the glasses refilled and were very attentive throughout the night. My biggest gripe is that the place is a little on the pricey side. With two glasses of wine at $10 each and the dinner at $24, it wasn't cheap. There are definitely some Italian restaurants around town with better prices and equally good food.
