This is what you dream of when thinking of a nice (romantic or not) dinner in a real Italian…read morerestaurant.
The bartender is Italian, speaks italian, the place is elegant, cozy, the lights are dimmed, candles on the table. The menu is appealing, there are lots of wines by the glass and the atmosphere is good. Italian music but modern. Loud but not too much.
Very good bread and oil. For the main part of the meal we were delighted. Great *I mean GREAT* Vitello Tonatto, very nice carpaccio (the salad could have been better spiced), fantastic spaghetti "in the wheel of parmiggiano" with truffles (but summer truffles, tasteless, so sadly topped with some "truffle" oil, a mediocre product). But let's be fair, the spaghetti was to die for !! Ravioli Porcini in a cream sauce, very good too. The meat, a piece of beef sliced at the table, was just hot when I started but due to the cold plate it was served on, became to cold very early in my jaw-destroying process. Nice steamed cooked vegetables. The desserts were average but this and the truffle oil is really what makes the difference between the 5* I intended and the 4* I finally opted for. Weird also that they didn't offer anything to a table of 2 who had two aperitifs, two glasses of white and a bottle of red, water, 2 starters, 2 pasta, 2 main courses and 2 desserts. C'mon...
But a very nice place indeed.
