Having read about Enoteca placing in the best new restaurants of 2011 and it being my boss's favorite restaurant I was pretty excited to try this place. My boyfriend and I went on a Tuesday night for 8:30 dinner reservation. We arrived 10 minutes earlier and was seated immediately. Service was good, waiter was nice and knowledgeable. Food was ok. They didn't have the tasting menu that my boss recommended so we ordered what the server recommended and what also what had good reviews. Grilled octopus, rice balls with cheese inside, and the house made pappardelle. Octopus was good and I can see why everyone raves about it, which is the manner in which it was cooked ("wok hey" taste), but in my opinion, you an easily find that cooking style in just about every chinese restaurant. Every time I hear rice balls, I assume it will be good because I see a lot of it on the food network, but these rice balls were bland and so was the sauce. House made pappardelle was the best dish. I liked how it's hand made pasta in house and the lamb was good but that was that. Servings were small so don't go on an empty stomach. I don't think I would ever crave any of these dishes again so I don't think I will be going back.
