I really wanted to like this place after reading so many stellar reviews. Much to my dismay, it didn't live up to those reviews. I'm going to hope I just came on an off day. Did the move from Bloomfield ruin things? I'll never know since I didn't visit that one...
I will say the one plus was the fresh made to order mozzarella plate with heirloom tomatoes, basil, olive oil and balsamic reduction. For tomatoes being out of season, they weren't too bad. And the mozz was awesome! They definitely perfect that dish.
For the main dish I ordered the gnocchi in a cream sauce with peas and mushrooms. I love gnocchi if done right. Wasn't too into the cream sauce or the actual gnocchi. It just didn't have much flavor. And the gnocchi fell flat... or should I say heavy. I'm so in love with the gnocchi from Il Pizzaiolo in Mt. Lebanon that I can't be fair to anyone else's!
I will also make a note that are service was not to hot. As I've said many of times, I've served so I know the drill. Put on the pizzaz to earn your tip. I know we're not a hard table, we even tried to make the dude laugh, to loosen him up. didn't work. He just seemed so over it. It just makes you feel uncomfortable when you have a server like that.
This is the thing though, this place has so many positive reviews that I'm definitely down to try it out again. Hopefully with a better turnout!
