For the umpteenth time, we enjoyed another luscious dinner with friends last night (and, today, my husband enjoyed his lunch with a friend). This is one of our favorite neighborhood restaurants.
The food is ALWAYS delicious. Consistency is the key--from the wonderful bread (crispy crust; yeasty flavorful inside) to the salads/starters, entrees and dessert. The arugula salad with roquefort, walnuts and apples is a perennial fave...but we also love the fried raviolis (try the pumpkin/squash) and eggplant starters...hey, ALL the starters are delish. I can/have made a meal from just a few of them.
In all our visits, we have never had a bad entree. Men friends tend to go "meat" (veal, osso buco or fish) and I tend toward the perfect al dente pastas or one of the langostino dishes. ALL DELISH. My only complaint (as I love the intimate space, the calicanto walls, etc.) is the NOISE FACTOR. If only they would add some heavy fabric parachuted on the ceiling or draped on the windows (just to absorb the noise--which can be headache-producint for the sensitive; conversation-inhibiting for all), it would be a 5-star on all ratings.
