   They sat us in what looks like a basement with hardly any ambiance, arts, or charm. It was just a big white walled room packed with tables that you can hardly move without touching sitting on the table next to you. No charm to the setti g at all! Food was very bland. We had the special appetizer of veal balls wrapped in leave. It was tasteless with no spices or flavor or sauce or anything. It was simply steamed veal balls. My partner had the fregola pasta dish and again it had no flavor. I had thr venison and zucchini parmesan and there were good but not great. We didnt mind paying the high price for the meal for two people but at least we expected the food and ambience the restaurant promotes on their website to be excellent but was totally lacking. Service was excellent!

   Way Overpriced for quality Old school Italian American style A veal Milanese does not warrant $70 on any planet and it was nothing special

   2 entrate: ok, non speciali 2 spaghetti alla bottarga: bottarga amarognola e spaghetti scotti, malgrado ci fossimo raccomandati sul fatto che li volessimo al dente. 1 flute di champagne: ossidato a 38 dollari! Il tutto a 220 dollari. Gran presa in giro e ristorante sicuramente NON degno di rappresentare la cucina italiana nel mondo. Fatto per i polli come noi che dopo due settimane hanno voluto assaporare un piatto di pasta. Sicuramente, nessuno del personale italiano l’avrebbe mangiata. Probabilmente lo chef o chi l’ha preparata non era neppure italiano e, spacciandosi per tale, prima di far uscire un piatto del genere, ci si accerta che sia corretto! Delusione totale… senza parlare della flute di champagne, ossidata, marca sconosciuta, a 38 dollari, altra presa in giro! 2 entrées: OK, not special 2 spaghetti alla bottarga: bitter roe and cooked spaghetti, despite our recommendation that we wanted them al dente. 1 flute of champagne: oxidised at $38! All for $220. Great mockery and a restaurant definitely NOT worthy of representing Italian cuisine in the world. Made for chickens like us who wanted to taste a plate of pasta after two weeks. Surely, none of the Italian staff would have eaten it. Probably the chef or whoever prepared it was not even Italian and, passing himself off as such, before bringing out such a dish, he makes sure it is correct! Total disappointment... not to mention the champagne flute, oxidised, unknown brand, at 38 dollars, another mockery!
