A very creative menu from Chef Nicola Mastronardi - a no non-sense chef who knows his stuff. Lovely handmade pastas, wonderful wood fired grilled meats, the Porchetta - wow! Definitely a special occasion restaurant. So take the chefs tasting menu at $70.00 for 6-8 courses is quite the deal (apps, entrees, delicious cheese plates to dessert). I took friends from Milan and Rome here - they were in awe that this restaurant is even here and it serves food of such high quality - they were quite impressed and thought it much better than Angelini or Valentino. We came back the next night and sat at the bar and had perfect icy Martinis, and noshed on the calamari, cheese plates with the homemade conserves, and a little quail salad with grapes. Fun place to people watch!
Pros: wonderful chef, great regional food, private dining rooms
Cons: noise level when busy
