| Daily special: Veal carpaccio - 2+ J's comment > very tender and flavorful; perfectly cooked |
 |
| Daily special: Rack of lamb - 2+ J's comment > another winner; intense lamb flavor w minimal gaminess (not that I would have minded either way); perfectly cooked, very tender; gnocchi were just the right texture, slightly bouncy and not hard at all |
 |
| Daily special: Ravioli w veal - 2 J's comment > not bad; very tender veal; ravioli a touch al dente; would have liked a bit more sauce |
 |
| Octopus Carpaccio: Pimento, limoncello - 2 J's comment > not bad; very thin, not chewy at all, but somehow doesn't impress as last visit's; dressing didn't enhance the octopus as well I think |
 |
| Taglierini: Wild mushrooms, pinot grigio-chilies, olive oil - 2 J's comment > flavor not as strong as the dishes above but generous amt of ingredients; pasta a touch al dente; would have preferred a sauce w this pasta |
 |
| Daily Burrata - 2 J's comment > much firmer than I like my burrata but still on the soft side; passable |
 |
| Meat Balls: Fonduta al Parmigiano, polenta - 2 J's comment > meatballs slightly firm; polenta very mushy; passable but not worth ordering again |
 |
| Complimentary bread and butter - 2 J's comment > bread not warm, butter slightly hard |
 |
| Tortino di Cioccolata e Croccante: Dark chocolate, hazelnut praline, blood orange gelato - 2 J's comment > very dense chocolate but not bitter; needs more praline; gelato OK, but the rest were just 'filler', didn't really add to the dessert |
 |
| Prosecco "Semifreddo" w fresh berries "brodo" - 2 J's comment > on the creamy side, it was more like an ice cream w faint traces of icicles |
 |
| Agave Margarita: Tequila, agave, squeezed lime - 2 J's comment > your avg margarita |
