Worst and expensive italian food
Saturday, February 21, 2009
Let me start this way. I know Italian food, was raised and grew up with it!! I tried this place , because friends kept telling me to go there for dinner.
Here is the menu I had with my comments!!
- Salad with duck, goat and toma cheese as an appetizer: I haven't even tasted the toma cheese!!!!
- First course "Risotto alla Milanese con Gamberetti": the worst risotto I ever had, basically no zafran, too much basil and onions, and over cooked rice. Even worst the rice was not an original Carnaroli Rice as listed in the menu, but a fake arborio rice instead.
- Main course "Maiale Arrosto ai Funghi, Spinaci, Formaggio e Cipolline": acceptable in taste and preparation, but nothing special.
- Dessert "Quartetto di Caramello": pretty good, but easy to prepare.
- Wine : White Chardonnay and Barbaresco... both very good.
In summary the food taste is way below average and not even close to real and good Italian food. I would not recommend this place to anyone, it is too expensive for the price they ask. Maybe for 30$/person including wine!!!!
The wine cart is impressive and good, but that is easy to do.
Cheers!!
Pros: good wine list
Cons: no good italian food, too expensive
