\nWho says you must cut a new restaurant some slack? The\u00a0service<\/strong> here was spectacular. Attentive, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. In mid-meal, I was perusing a menu for fun and a waitress noticed me to check if I needed more food. Kudos to the server in the above photo: she was awesome.<\/p>\n

\"&sons
\nMixed Cheese Platter<\/em> ($18)<\/p>\n

All the servers and cooks are Italians<\/strong>. So the food<\/strong> is\u00a0Italian\u00a0<\/strong>served in small plates to share.<\/strong>\u00a0Each person should order about 2-3 plates. According to the server, everything is made in-house.\u00a0<\/strong>Even the charcuterie is cured in-house and pasta made from scratch.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"&sons
\nWe trio ordered 8 plates and the food<\/strong> ranged from acceptable to good. The least favorite dish–but still acceptable–was\u00a0pork tuna<\/strong>\u00a0($10, pictured above), a shredded pork, styled like a can of tuna. It was a tad dry.<\/p>\n

\"&sons<\/p>\n

Better than the tuna pork were the calamari\u00a0<\/strong>($12, above), cooked just right, with a nice bite but not overly chewy; aspargus, garlic & anchovy sauce<\/strong> ($9), ok but nothing special; prosciutt San Daniele with pickled pears<\/strong> ($12), the appetizing pears perked up the dish; and Kurobuta Pork Neck with Porcini sauce\u00a0<\/b>($15), tender with a nice crisp crust but there was a hint of Maggi Mee seasoning, which was nicely familiar.<\/p>\n

\"&sons<\/p>\n

Our favorites of the night<\/strong>: The\u00a0cheese mix board<\/strong>\u00a0($18) with 5 selections (from 13 cheeses) was a winner for us: each cheese with distinct hints, like truffles or cherry. Another winner was the\u00a0paccheri<\/strong> ($15, above), a must-order<\/strong>. The thick pasta was first cooked, then rolled and baked like a cinnamon bun. When you cut open, it was filled with Iberico pork and the aroma of truffle assaulted the senses. Actually, I think another pasta, sea urchin carbonara<\/strong> ($16) looks interesting too, but too bad we were already too full.<\/p>\n

\"&sons
\nKurobuta Pork Neck with Porcini sauce\u00a0<\/b>($15)<\/p>\n

So full that I FORGOT about the essential part of the meal, desserts. ALAMAK. When I walked out of the restaurant, I wanted to go back in and try the desserts. But my other two friends were already gone. The\u00a0salted caramel strawberry jubilee<\/strong> ($12) sounded good.<\/p>\n

An all-round winner,\u00a0good food, classy decor<\/strong> and\u00a0great service.\u00a0<\/strong>We spent $200 for three <\/strong>including\u00a0a bottle of wine (<\/strong>$75).\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
