I loved my experience at Stagioni this past weekend, and everyone in the party agreed! I highly recommend!
The dining room was nice and quiet with warm lighting and floral accents. We asked for cocktail recommendations, and the server did a nice job of asking about our preferences and recommending appropriate options.
We decided to go heavy on the appetizers, as there were so many delicious options. This was definitely a good choice! The made to order mozzarella was fresh and creamy. My first bite of the cheese alone was good, but once I added some of the fresh salt and swirled it around in balsamic, it was perfect! The roasted brussel sprout salad was a surprise - we all expected full brussel sprouts - but in a good way! It was loaded with parmesan cheese, and the hazelnuts were a really nice touch. The roasted figs stuffed with goat cheese and wrapped in bacon were definitely our favorite appetizer - we fought over who was going to have the last one!
We also shared a pizza and two pasta dishes.The Artichoke etc. pizza had the perfect amount of cheese with a deliciously crisp crust. I love gnocchi but never had it with ricotta - will definitely try that again! The pappardelle was cooked perfectly al dente and had a nice orange flavor. The port currants were an excellent addition.
Our sever was very attentive and, even though we were the last table in the dining room, we never felt rushed to leave. Excellent all around experience.
