Like I said earlier, I came to investigate the hype. Unfortunately, the wardenis not a big fan of pasta so I had to go solo cause Yolo. Not too mention, the place is pretty close to the office.
I opted for the gnocchi with vodka sauce after learning that crazy Alfredo is only offered at dinner. Also. I been seeing gnocchi at at the world market and contemplated making it at the crib. Because it primarily consists of potato and basically a dumpling, it is rather filling and pretty heavy. The vodka sauce was excellent and the good came out in a flash. Let's not forget about the fresh garlic bread....whoa! My garlic gauge is enhanced so I love how they load it with butter, seasonings and garlic, and lots of it!
The server was very accommodating as well and assisted with activating the closed captioning feature so I could watch ESPN's Around the Horn. There was a minor mix up when paying the bill however, where the waiter charged me for the couple eating next to me. No biggie, but I sure can see others having a stroke over it. I still broke him off as if the mishap never occurred.
The ambience creates a true modern Italian experience and the speakeasy lounge music was a nice touch. The decor provided a cozy feel and the dining area is closed off to the world, giving you that presence of intimacy.
I am definitely coming back again, especially during dinner too complete my investigation of the do called "crazy Alfredo." Maybe I can convince my partner in crime to come with, but until then, it might be several solo dolo trips for muah only.
