Some local DC friends picked this restaurant to meet us out for dinner tonight, and we are so glad they did. Westarted out with the Beef Carpaccio, Buffalo mozzarella, arugula, pesto, and spicy micro greens appetizer. It is a light weightappetizer that packs a punch of flavor. For the main course my wife had the Saffron Taglierini with scallops. She says it wasas delicious as it sounds. I ordered the Lamb Shank Ossobucco style with spinach mash potatoes. The lamb was cooked perfectlyand the dish as a whole was fantastic as well as more than I could eat in one setting, so I will be enjoying the leftovers foranother meal. To top everything off, we had their tiramisu for dessert. It was very good. Next time though I think we?ll trythe cheesecake.

They offered a lettuce leaf to make up for it. Really underwhelmed. The food needs seasoned, from the bread to the pasta. The bestthing I had was the wine? which they bought. There was also broken glass on the floor that no one attended to the entire timewe were there.

Everything was well seasoned. We shared the lunch special spinach risotto with shrimp. The rice wasperfectly al dente and the shrimp were so crisp! Dessert was tiramisu and fruit panacotta. I have nothing to complain about.Service was prompt and attentive as well.

On that particular day, I wasn't in the mood for creamy or buttery dishes and was craving spaghetti with olive oil and garlic instead. The staff were friendly, and the atmosphere and service were decent.
