| - I noticed Borgo a week ago when I was shopping on 17th ave and checked out the website when I got home. The dinner menu had me at fried risotto ball, and I knew I had to get myself to this restaurant asap.
Had plans this weekend to go for dinner with two girl friends, so I suggested Borgo and they were game. Normally I am not a fan of restaurants that do not take reservations, but we showed up at 6:30 pm and were seated right away. The restaurant was busy, but not packed. LOVE the design of the restaurant. I wanted to smuggle all of the lights home in my purse.
The food is served family style, with the proteins, pastas and sides all ordered individually. Price range is between moderate and spendy, $11 to $60 per person, depending on how much food and drink you order. We ordered the risotto balls (arancino), eggplant fritta, gnocchi, trout, and focaccia. Everything was delicious. Very rich, but I guess that's to be expected considering what we ordered... The service was also very good. It felt like the restaurant had been open for years.
(PS Yelp, I love that a price range is named spendy)
