Q: It gives me no joy to write this. I wanted to like this restaurant, but I gave it two visits and left unhappy both times. The ingredients are fresh and the decor nice, but the service is bad and the food is disappointing. The ingredients are fresh and high-quality, but the preparation seems lacking. Food: Last time, we had the soft mozzarella board, which was decent. Not amazing, but not bad. My girlfriend had Polipo (octopus) which she said was fantastic. Not chewy at all, and very tasty. We shared a Tartufo pizza (mushroom and truffle), which I cannot recommend. The truffles and mushrooms were overwhelming. Too much of a good thing is not good. This preparation has a raw egg over the top, which is supposed to get cooked by the heat of the fresh pizza. Ours ended up runny and raw. Tonight, we had D's Bees and the Boston for cocktails. There were 6 specialty cocktails and we had two, but they tasted suspiciously similar. Neither were good and we left them both untouched. Management took one off the bill, which was very nice. For our meal, we had beef carpaccio (which is a unique preparation of the dish), which my girlfriend thought was light and "interesting", but entirely forgettable. We ordered a Margherita pizza, again with great ingredients and cooked well...but bland. The branzino is one of the best pieces of fish I have had, but after eating it, I was hungry. The Manager recommended desserts, chocolate gelato w/ bacon on top and ricotta gelato with pistaccios on top. The ricotta was bland and decidedly "not worth the calories". The chocolate gelato was good, but nothing special. The General Manager was so enthusiastic and friendly, that he got in the way of our server, who was already undertrained and left alone to flounder. He was so busy "bullshitting" that he failed to notice that he was talking to unhappy customers. It was a classic example of thinking about what you are saying, rather than observing or listening. And this was after he noticed we did not like our drinks. When we talked about the drinks, instead of apologizing and moving on, he defended the cocktails and made as if we were at fault. He did, on a positive note, bring over a type of gin that he thought we should sample. It was interesting, but had little to do with our meal. Honestly, this place is so close to what I want a restaurant to be, that it hurts. By being so close, this failure of a restaurant becomes more frustrating. Summary: I spent $95 for a meal and left hungry and annoyed. Two strikes and they are out. OPTIONS:

Q: They have good baguettes and cheeses. Pre-made food is not so good and customer service is lacking. Maybe it's an "oh you're not a regular" attitude? But then again, how does one become a regular... Pros -Fresh bread -Good cheeses & spreads Cons -Not much selection -Pre made food is so-so OPTIONS:
