Upscale italian restaurant with small portions

So here’s another romantic place to take a date out to, but be prepared to shell out the cash! The food is good…too bad they don’t give you more. The restaurant is beautiful and so are many of the diners. Come here if you want to feel like one of the elite but not if you want to satisfy your hunger.

I went to this restaurant really excited for...

I went to this restaurant really excited for two reasons: first, I was famished; second, I’d heard so much about this place.

The waiter recommended the tortellini filled w/ braised rabbit, it also had spinach and mushrooms. I didn’t like it at all— very salty and buttery! Maybe it was a wrong choice, shouldn’t have NOT listened to our waiter.

I decided to have dessert, hoping dessert at least would kind of redeem the place. Had their tiramisu, it was not a redeeming factor. Too sweet!!!

Regardless of whether it was just bad choice of food or just bad food period, I would never go back there.

Great food and very romantic!!

I went here the other night on a date and was very impressed!! The ambience is amazing. We were seated promptly and our server suggested an outstanding chianti. We started with garlic mushrooms and had the roasted butternut squash filled pasta and the seared snapper. Both dishes were phenomenal. Lots of flavor and good sized. The sommelier suggested a white wine that was perfect for our dishes. I will definitely go here again.
