Review content:
Let me first say that overall I enjoyed dinner. My wife and I had just been to Italy for a vacation and were looking forward to a classy Italian meal.
The food and service were, for the most part, very good. But after some raves I had read, there were a few lapses that left me a little disappointed. First the wine list, good American and Italian selections, but no vintages? Vintages matter and Mr. Vallone should know that. Second 2 wines identified as Sauvignon Blancs are actually white wine blends quite different from a Sauv. Blanc.
The Antipasto bar had some good choices - the spinach and cheese patties were a standout, but no proscuitto which was available on other appetizers. Minor quibble. Solid minestrone soup and a well dressed salad of greens, oranges, goat cheese and pecans followed. Good portion size, not too much, not too little. But this was our first hint of trouble in service coordination. Our appetizer course was barely finished (by say 10 SECONDS) when our second course arrived. There's a thin line betweeen "prompt" and "rushed". If that approached the line, the next course pushed us over.
To our surprise our meat course arrived next with our pasta. We had intended for them to be separate courses as is the norm in Italy. To his credit the waiter realized the error and offered to take it back. Not wanting to waste food, we kept them both and he comped the pasta. We selected the pasta Gigli because by it's description it seemed like a lighter option - peas, proscuitto, romano cheese and pasta. The cheese was a cheesy sauce. Very tasty but not as light as anticipated. My wife's beef medallions Enzo were more like 2 small filets, perfectly cooked, appealingly presented. I had Romano crusted veal which was good but a wee bit greasy. Two big pluses - vegetables are perfectly executed and not overcooked and soggy; and for such a nice place the prices are very reasonable. We'll return hoping for a true Italian slow meal.
