Reviews
The food was clearly homemade. While it could use a little seasoning and refinement, I was so happy with the pasta and the cook on the salmon and chicken.
Enjoyed the rustic minestrone and the housemate tiramsu. The flourless chocolate cake was a bit heavy so best shared with 2-3 people. While I wish the wine by the glass selections was more robust, the bottles were were very reasonable and looked enticing.
The decor inside is very neutral. Not Buca over the top or Nonna’s kitchen homey, it could be any moderate restaurant except for the large piano in the corner and bar across from the entrance.
There was an elderly gentleman singing standards by the piano and we were seated directly in front of him at first. Our server/bartender quickly moved us to a quieter table near the back.
For a wine bar, the wine menu was a bit light, but we selected a very drinkable Tempranillo, Viña Temprana.
The food menu has the basics, nothing spectacular or unique.
We always try the Calamari when it’s on a menu. This one was not my favorite. I like the rings and tentacles with a flour/corstarch/baking powder batter. This was more of a tempura-like batter on steaks/fingers with not much flavor, although cooked perfectly.
The soups, Minestrone and Clam Chowder, that came with our entrees also had very mild flavor, but a decent amount of vegetables.
The Manicotti had a very nice, bright marinara and was generously filled with cheese, although we sort of expected a meat sauce like many Italian American restaurants have.
My build your own rigatoni/sausage/pesto was another miss. It first came out with red sauce, that our sever had corrected in under 3 minutes. Unfortunately that didn’t help the dish. The sausage was sliced discs with no caramelization and the pesto was dull and overly oily.
The highlight of the meal was the flourless chocolate cake. It was dense, with a deep fudge and dark chocolate flavor, everything I would expect.
I would come back in the future for affordable, drinkable wine and dessert, but skip the entree.
Not many people but it’s quiet and have some music playing.
It looks nice and fancy inside.
They give you complementary bread & butter.
I got the chicken parmigiana. Wish there was more pasta with it. My sister got a pepperoni pizza. The pepperoni tasted abit spicy. My brother got the Italian sandwich, it comes with a side of pasta. Also you can add or soup for $2.50. He got a salad with ceaser dressing.
