We visited Attimo Wine Bar's Kitchen on their final night of service at their current location, so the menu options were limited. Despite this, all of the food we tried was excellent. We are excited to dine at their new location and sample their full menu.

The cured salmon was disappointing. Some pieces tasted spoiled and the presentation and taste were unexceptional. The risotto was poorly seasoned and over salted, making it an unsatisfactory dish overall. Overall, both dishes were not well made. A disappointing experience overall - 0 for 2.

The food was delicious and the cocktails were excellent. Our server was very attentive and it was cool to not only meet the chef but the dude who made our bread. Convenient parking and a cool walk to the bathroom. Recommend the Tallow candle bread service
