Tot agree with A16. An expensive waste of time, at least on my visit. I just had dinner A16 on Sunday with the Mom and the BF. In short, fine but somewhat of a letdown.

An expensive waste of time, at least on my visit. I just had dinner A16 on Sunday with the Mom and the BF. In short, fine but somewhat of a letdown. Started with an Octopus Terrina that tasted on the old side and was tougher than I would have liked. Also had a salad (butter lettuce, sunchokes, and some other things) which was overdressed and limp. The pizzas were fine (1 Margherita and 1 Pizzaiolos choice) but nothing incredible. What really bothered me was the pizza did not seem cooked properly. The crust was a pale blond with dark black dots and was definitely on the soft side. Blech! For dessert we had the rosewater panna cotta which was tasty but a bit too firm for my liking.

One the plus side service was attentive and the selection of background music top notch (lots of Grizzly Bear, a personal favorite).-COLLAPSE

Came here with a group of friends for dinner and everything was amazing. We ordered a bunch of stuff... The burrata (super creamy mozzarella) appetizer was delicious -- one of the best burratas I've had outside of Italy. So was everything else: pizza (white pizza with ricotta + arugula), duck meatballs, beet salad, pasta with anchovies (even for people who normally dislike anchovies)...

One of us is vegetarians and we were happily surprised at the number of vegetarian options available, which the meat-eaters among us also thoroughly enjoyed. Lovely service too.-COLLAPSE (by mpiccino, created December 15, 2009)
