"my wife and I went to the end of a wonderful five-night stay in the opposite with a lot of joy on the basis of the wonderful menu. it was a disappointing experience that was made by probably the most inconspicuous server we had. they neglected to tell us about the nightly specialities; we were finished 3/4 of the way with our meal when another server on a table next to us said that the guests over a long list of specials. (one or two that we might have tried to get no bread and not offered; we asked our server about when she finally came back to our table (we were back, 3/4 finished, and had flown another server to bring us more water.) her answer to the brot: I can now get them a few if they want to tell their answer to us not about the specials: you seemed to be ready to order them rolled us one or two times the eyes. we're not hard to get along. my wife has numerous food sensitivity; she asked to make sure that there was no spinach in her house salat, because she could not have spinach, but the sweetness that came with her meal included. a portion spinach. they came to table only twice after eating, and both paint only b/c we flaged them to ask for water (it was the second dance where we asked for specializations and brot.) they did not bring us the scary after we had taken our teller, so after a long wait we went to table and paid there. eating was above average; my salmon was blanching, but the polnta served it was great. the meal of my wife was good, although the spinach was was was was wasted. we have not given any possibility for dessert because our server has never asked us. we mentioned our disregard with the host; the manager came out and got us $20 from a $90 meal. the other servers greeted the guests cordially and seemed over dinge; perhaps our only had a bad night. the restaurant was not busy (we came at 5:30 on a Sunday night and there was only one other table with guests when we arrived.) I still think that the menu is great, but not sure we go again."

"Why did we wait this long to try this lovely restaurant? The OWNERS are there engaging in every aspect of your dining experience which is so rare these days. Every single pasta is handmade. The menu has classics and some fun things we'd never seen. Gorgeous wine list is not overpriced and worth a glass or a bottle (or two. A fun basket of skinny breadsticks, bread and crostini accompanied by olive oil and herbs and a kind of whipped red pepper spread come as a start at no charge (nice touch. Even the ice water had a nice presentation in a modern glass vessel with lemon slices floating atop. Adorable dripping candle out of a wine bottle with mismatched chandeliers throughout made this place feel so cozy and real. Not pretentious, but inviting. The Cesar salad is a real Cesar salad. This is not some dressing out of a bottle. Perfectly balanced ingredients and not heavy handed on the anchovy which I appreciate knowing the importance of the anchovy to make the right flavor but not an anchovy fan per se. My hubby ordered the Truffle Sausage (which they make themselves!! over truffle risotto. I would buy this sausage and keep it at home. The sausage was delicious and the risotto was creamy and velvety! This might be on permanent rotation for us. I'm still dreaming about it. I had the homemade beef ravioli with the bolognese sauce. The pasta was so light and airy I couldn't believe it. The sauce was so incredibly well done. Oh, and by the way, our food came out steaming hot. They are paying attention! Our neighbor table ordered the fettuccine Alfredo. It's done table side by the owner in a giant wheel of cheese imported from Italy. He didn't stop there though. Once the fettuccine was ready out of the wheel and plated, he uses a torch to brown the cheese on top before serving to you. So, if you want a lovely, delicious evening, GO HERE! If you don't, we'll be there without you."
