Review from Luisa D.
10/23/2010
We had lunch here and the food was very tasty: warm carpaccio followed by gnocchi, finishing with a very interesting porcini semifreddo. The things that really impressed me though were the staff and the espresso. It's not often that I have an espresso so memorable. It was nutty and chocolatey and wonderful. I forgot to ask what beans they use.
We had an event in their very cool space upstairs and the staff were so helpful and friendly. They passed around appetizers and even had a second person following with a plate to take the used skewers and spoons. That's the first time I've seen that!! It was nice for guests not to stand there wondering where to put this stuff.
Grazie Graziella! -

Uptight and unwelcoming....they take themselves way too seriously. We should have taken a hint when we saw that the place was DEAD on a Saturday night. The food is boring and run of the mill, for the price of a top notch dish. The service was appalling.
When you walk in, you are greeted by a self righteous middle aged server who will be appalled that you don't order wine, he will be equally appalled that you don't eat meat. You will open the menu and see rabbit leg dishes and duck dishes for hilarious prices. We wanted to get up and leave after reading the menu but we were so hungry that we just decided to eat quickly and leave.
The only vegetarian dish was the gnocci with tomato sauce - which is what I was forced to order because there was no other option. My partner got the same thing.
When our food arrived we were almost ready to pass out from hunger, and when you're hungry everything tastes good right? Wrong. The dish tasted like someone opened a can of tomato paste, added some milk, and called it a day.
Our bill came to $65 for 2 gnocci dishes (no drinks, nothing). It would have been worth the price if the food was good. It was far from.
I would like to give this place a half star.
