Very expensive for very average food 3/21/2008

The meal price listed is way off. Two people ordering dinner without appetizers and one glass of wine each will easily reach $70+. If the food was truly spectacular, it would be worth it, but the food is very average. The chef is obviously creative, as he has come up with some truly unique dishes, but creativity is not always the greatest thing to experience. The raviolis are the highlight of the restaurant, but many of the other dishes combine ingredients that just don't seem to go together, and the pasta itself is not very good. The noodles taste stringy, like they're overcooked, and the cheese used in the sauces tastes very dry and low-quality. The restaurant looks beautiful inside, but then they turn up the volume on the TV too loud and the noise from the regulars at the bar drowns out any conversation. There are better Italian places around - I'd suggest trying them. Pros: Creative menu items, good ravioli, and good wine Cons: Loud bar kills atmosphere, prices are way too high for what is being served more
