nouveau italian

a friend recommended this place to me a while back. it was funny to discover that it is in the same little strip of then empty retail spaces that i looked at years ago when searching for a studio workspace. the restaurant, like the area, is very cute and new. it doesn’t strike me as particularly traditional italian, but more californified, which isn’t a bad thing. the food was fresh and delicious, and neither of the pastas we had were too heavy.

accompanying the entrees are slices of garlic bread sprinkled with freshly grated parmesan and slices of tomatoes. the bread was nicely toasted, crunchy around the edges and soft in the middle with plenty of garlic and butter.

the service was fine. our waitress seemed a bit inexperienced, but was attentive enough. on our way out, one of the cooks acknowledged and wished us a good night, which was nice. we went on a sunday night, and though the place had a lot of people, we didn’t have to wait. i noticed several vegetarian options that sounded delicious, including an eggplant parmesan special, so we’ll be back to try some of their other items.

Dishes I tried:

spaghettini alla cammarista

a spaghetti pasta tossed with a spicy tomato sauce, shrimp and olives. though not spicy at all as the description had indicated, it was tasty and accented with the strong flavors of salty olives. i thought it was a good combination.

heirloom tomato salad

with tomatoes in the peak of the season, we had to start off with the heirloom tomato salad, which consisted of thick slices of heirloom tomatoes, belgian endive & red onions drizzeled with a light vinagrette. the tomatoes were sweet and fresh, and the vinaigrette was good. i noticed the hard, green leaf stem on one slice hadn’t been fully trimmed, and though i ate around it, i think a little more attention could have been paid to that sort of thing as i almost bit into it.

fettucine alfredo

a subtly flavored cream sauce. they did a fine job cooking the pasta, but i didn’t find the sauce interesting otherwise.

tiramisu

it was excellent. the cake was moist, airy and had the faintest flavors of rum, coffee and cocoa. with rich desserts, i usually only have a handful of bites, but this cake was so light and good, i ate more than my share.
