after feasting here last night, i thought i’d post about a few of my favorites, since btw all of the people in our group, i think we tried pretty much the entire menu! :) (at least all of the appetizers! with the exception of the garlic almond soup, which sounded a bit odd to us….)

that being said, i’m not sure this is a great place for big groups tho. our group of 10 ordered a ridiculous amount of food (i literally meant it when i said “feast”!), and it seemed to overwhelm the kitchen. well, that was our theory, since the food came out quiiiiiite slowly. and it wasn’t the kind of well-timed/good-service slowness, bc i think we were quite obviously ravenous and devouring everything as soon as they set it down before us. :)

i really liked the ambience – simple, dimmed lighting with candles, mostly small/intimate tables – but i think it’s a better choice for a dinner with a smaller party that wants to take their time with the food :)

The ricotta gnudi with tomato marmalade is to fried mozzarella what Metropolitan Grill’s kobe burger is to the hamburger. Run, don’t walk.

I love this restaurant. The food is excellent and the service was great!!!
