This is for the restaurant.
Went here for the second time. First time was hit and miss, with the music way too loud to carry on a conversation and terrible service. But the food was good so we decided to give it another go. This time, everything worked out great. Music was at a reasonable level. Temperature very pleasant. Server was fantastic. Garlic bread tasty but a little crunchy. Appetizer Kobe rice balls, a little dense for my taste but very flavorful. Appetizer clams oreganato fantastic...hot, clams perfectly cooked with a nice toasted breadcrumb topping, great garlic sauce...I wanted to lick the plate. My wife had the penna ala vodka...just o.k. We don't mind el dente, but her penne took el dente to a ridiculous level. And it was undersauced. Spaghetti and Kobe meatballs...delicious. Gelato for dessert...the chocolate was awesome, caramel good and vanilla bean o.k. Portions are large and priced reasonably.
