| - This is my first experience dining at a strict Italian restaurant. The décor is modern and classy, yet casual. As a group of 7, they seated us at the tall table with metal chairs. Not the most comfortable, but ok.
-Bread is served with olive oil and chili sauce. Someone asked for balsamic vinegar, but the request was declined by the waiter. I assume parmesan cheese was also out of the question. *sniff*
-Only Italian wines are offered. I'm okay with that, it's cool to try something new. Glasses range from $7-14. They also offer half bottle and full bottle portions and have a large selection.
-When dinner came out, someone asked for parmesan, but the waiter informed us that the chef doesn't allow this. She also asked for pepper, which I was surprised WAS allowed.
For my "Primi", I was deciding between the ravioli on the specials menu and the agnolotti. I was curious to what agnolottis are, so I went with that. They are like ravioli's, but shaped differently.
Agnolotti di Manzo con Burro e Salvia $ 17 - Handmade Agnolotti stuffed with braised beef in a butter, sage, and parmigiano Sauce. This was quite delicious! The pasta was light and fresh. It wasn't saucy but nicely flavored.
I tried a bite of gnocchi but wasn't impressed. The texture of the gnocchi was grainy. I did like the crispy bits of vegetables in it.
The waiter was nice and attentive.
