Dimmi Bar & Trattoria was busy even on a weekday afternoon. We got stuck at a table near the kitchen so I total feel that the place was buzzing with actions...
Standard Italian restaurant menu so everyone would definitely find something that they enjoy....
3 of us ended up sharing:
Baby Spinach and Walnut Salad ($14.95) in a honey balsamic vinaigrette with roasted walnuts, blue cheese, and candied fruit was delightful. It is hard to believe but this was the best part of my lunch.
Fettucine Alla Riviera ($19.95) With shrimps, scallops, mussels, clams and calamari with a really really light tomato sauce... a little too light maybe? Portion is really small...definitely not good for sharing! I can eat 2 of those.....
Diavola ($14.95) Pizza with tomato sauce, mozzarella and spicy homemade Italian sausage... My Yelp friend who is a spice lover was draw to that when he said SPICY!... but definitely that's not too much heat but plenty of sodium.... now I am a feeling that I am going to stick with veggie or plain options for pizza toppings from now on...
Service is lukewarm and rush as the staffs were busy serving the lunch crowds....
I think I would give Dimmi a pass... I probably won't be coming back for their cooking, but if you are in Yorkville, you probably can give the place a try!
