text: Everything was perfectthe service the timeliness the atmospherenneverything EXCEPT THE FOODnnI cannot give a restaurant a good review if the food is not good especially at this price point Here is the rundownnnDRINKS Okay these were good The Mulo Romano and Amore Amaro were probably highlights of the mealnnWARM OLIVES Fine These were the highlight of the food but the texture was a little mushynot firm and fresh like olives should be The orange peel garnish added a nice unexpected element that made the dish more complex Eat this part with the olives if you decide to order thisnnARANCINI They were hard balls of bland puffy overcooked rice Looking back on images that other people posted on Yelp of their Cento arancini the kitchen must have also run out of cheese Ours came with a light dusting of powdered parm rather than an ample melty layer of shredded cheese as is seen in another photo nnSOURDOUGH WITH LOCAL BUTTER They really play with words to make this starter sound romantic halfslices of bread come with a ball of butter in a little pool of olive oil The flavors were onenote It would have been nice to have salt and pepper grinders on the table so we could customize the dish ourselves I understand that good restaurants do not offer salt and pepper on the table because the chef wants customers to experience each dish as heshe creates it but everything else we had that night could have used some more seasoningnnFRIED SQUID Overfried squid was rubbery The romesco sauce was good but it was the only source of flavor on the plate The grilled lemons would have been a great touch if we were able to squeeze some juice out of the paperthin slicesnnBLACK TAGLIATELLE The pasta itself had a gluey pasty texture that was not pleasant I wondered if it was the squid ink but after doing a little research postvisit this was not the case Our tagliatelle also did not have much sauce and what was there tasted like cream and not much else Very bland This was disappointing because so many Yelpers rave about this dish and their photos show a nice golden sauce nnAfter reading so many positive reviews my man and I had greatly anticipated our visit here But because the food was so expensive but not good we do not care to visit again
