| - Sadly, I did not find this place to be as tasty as I hoped or for the prices either.
However, I thought it was going to be uber good because of menu choices and descriptions...and the prices. But prices lie sometimes...or a lot! Oh and perhaps because their pesto butter that they give with their bread basket was yuuuuuuuuuumy!
We went for a friend's birthday dinner and so we shared the fried mozarella balls with anchovy sauce and capers. Now that was tasty!
I got the filet mignon ravioli with veal demi sauce, aromatic vegetables, truffle, and parmaggiano. Sigh. The raviolis were good, but I was expecting parmaggiano melted on top and more of a taste variety. The first few bites were tasty, but I quickly became bored with it. I did nosh on my friend's seafood ravioli (which were pretty good since it had a cream sauce) and a bit of another friend's veal. I've had mouth-watering melt-in-your-mouth veal in Sorrento, Italy...so that is what I was hoping for and expecting. Not so much. See my attached photo...there certainly isn't much to it, very 2-dimensional.
This one was a definitely let down for sure. And for the pricetag, I'm not happy to not have enjoyed it more. There seems to be a very old crowd here as well.
Our server was very friendly and helpful as well. I was afraid not to finish off my last ravioli though, even though I was full, because he would give us a hard time if we didn't finish things on our plate. Gotta love Europeans! I remember that happening often when I traveled all over Europe awhile back. LOL
