| - I've visited Enoteca Sociale multiple times.
I'm giving them a 3-star rating overall, because on the occasions where I've veered from the items that I know to be good (great, actually), I've been let down. The ambiance is lacking, the service generally sucks, and their secondi are thoroughly unimpressive. My friend tells me they made a delicious panna cotta in the summer with fresh raspberries, but I haven't had the pleasure of trying it yet so I'll believe it when I see it. They also have a well-priced wine list, which is a definite plus.
If you're in the mood for a 5-star carb-fest, ignore everything the server tells you and order the Grilled Octopus, Swiss Chard, New Potato & Chili Pepper antipasti and follow it with the Bucatini All'Amatriciana. You will not be disappointed. Both of these items are outstanding, and the portion sizes are perfect. The octopus comes in big, hearty, tender chunks and is cooked just right. The bucatini is a really rustic, al dente pasta dish with the perfect amount of spice. Make sure you top it with lots of freshly grated cheese.
Enoteca is good, but not great -- unless you order what I have mentioned. If you want to enjoy your meal there, I strongly urge you to do what I say.
