I dined at Stagioni last night and had a fantastic experience. I won't go into my expectations prior to arriving, but I did make reservations and would recommend doing so if you dine here.
The atmosphere was great (I sat downstairs) and it was small, but intimate and cozy. The kudos continue with the food as well. I had a bottle of wine to start. Then, I proceeded to ask our server a lot of questions. I do this because I am sometimes clueless as to what is on the menu, but I also like to hear how servers describe things and if they get excited/are passionate when describing the menu to me. I enjoyed the menu of Stagioni. Fairly large and diverse, but you can also share pasta meals if you do not want a meat entree. I ordered the risotto balls antipasto, shrimp and salsa verde polenta, mushroom gnocchi, and peppers as a side (I forget their name). I ordered all of this and shared it with my guest. The food was fantastic. Rich in flavor, but simple and delicious.
I then proceeded to have a night out at various bars and restaurants where I told everyone how great my experience at Stagioni was. I'll be going again, and I know I convinced others to try it out as well!
