I originally planned to take my Girlfriend to another restaurant with a proper valentines day package. Im glad I didnt. La Vecchia was better in every aspect imaginable. The atmosphere is quaint, and romantic, with a hint of trendiness. We didnt have to wait for a table. The wine list is impressive for such a small establishment. We started with a martini. Martinis only get eight out of ten only because i ventured with a new one and combinations of flavours didnt strike me. The caprese salad with bufalo mozzarella was exquisite. The shrimp appetizer was like no shrimp i had ever had. The meat ravioli was mouth watering. The beef tenderloin was so tender than my butter knife had no problem hacking it, and it was delicious. The caramel crunch dessert was innovative and delectible. The Gelato a la vecchia is the best gelato with espresso in the city. The service was impeccable. Our cutlery and plates were removed after every course expediously. The staff are very friendly. Everyting was spic and span. We even ended up paying $120 less than i would have at the other place.
