I will. I hope that they still have white truffles when I get there.

Yes... the upside down bowl of cheese, crust and sauce. They have awesome salads and the sandwiches are pretty good too. The pizza pot pies I could take or leave, but I enjoy them on occasion.

Quality bump...this place is like 3 blocks from me and I've never been - looks like I now have a reason to go.

Riccardo made the Zagat Buzz list of best new restaurants from the "Aughts" - http://www.zagat.com/Blog/Detail.asp...n=buzz20100106 I still think the menu is too big, and that slightly hurts the execution, but it's a good place, for sure, and in VERY good company on this list. I'm not sure how L20 got left off tho ?!?!?!

I don't mind waiting 30 minutes for my reservation if it means a free bottle of wine like last time.

Did this last night.

Went with their tasting menu and had some awesome food (my dessert was just ok...but I always think restaurant desserts are boring). The tasting menu is a pretty good value and even includes a glass of prosecco but I could just as easily order off the regular menu and skip the dessert.

Will definitely be going back in the future, hopefully many times
