They were very innatentive, and not very busy. They use obviously canned tomatoes in their bruchetta and pasta dishes.
Way overpriced for the quality.

This place takes the MS prime card so I thought I’d try it out. I was quite disappointed.

The food was pricey and not well-prepared or tasty. Our nonchalant waitress provided below-average service. The decor and atmophere were neither upscale, nor original/warm. With that kind of prices, I think they’re positioning themselves as a high-end restaurant, but instead, this is an unwelcoming place with overpriced meals.

I don’t think I’m going back, and I can’t imagine going there without the prime card.

Andiamo (let’s go in Italian) is a great upscale-by-my-standards Italian restaraunt. The lighting is nice and subdued, and although it was fairly croweded when we were there, it wasn’t too noisy, even sitting relatively close to one of the speakers playing unobtrusive jazz. The menu offers a nice variety of Italian dishes, including meat, seafood, pasta, and some really tasty appetizers. It’s classical but lively Italian food prepared really well and presented finely.

The wine list — wow! We shared a few glasses of Valpolicello and pinot grigio (about $7 or $8 apiece) but the list includes everything from wine by the glass up to several bottles over a hundred dollars. Too rareified for my blood, but if that’s your thing, you can probably find something plenty fancy, here.

Our waiter was pretty friendly, at least at first, though we were overshadowed by the two nearby tables buying multiple bottles of wine and going several rounds of appetizers. I think we ended up getting short shrift by comparison, but by and large the service was good.

This definitely isn’t the kind of place you go to weekly, but it’s great for a special night out.
