Authentic Italian in a Quaint Shophouse
Ate there for one of our LA Lunches. It's a small place so reservations are a must.
1) Must-tries: -Portobello al Forno ($24), oven baked portobello mushroom with taleggio and baby spinach; -Carpaccio di Manzo ($24) was a wonderful marriage of paper-thin raw beef tenderloin, bitter rucola and salty shaved parmesan; -Tagliaetelle al Granchio ($26), homemade egg pasta ribbons with crabmeat, tomatoes, cream and vodka; -Tagliolini Verdi alla Paolo ($25) was a fragrant and delicious spinach pasta with ham, mushrooms, cream and gratin with parmesan -Fettuccine ai Funghi Porcini ($25), flat ribbons of egg pasta with porcini, cream and herbs, was a heady concoction of aromatic porcini mushrooms - 2) Good: -Insalata Caprese ($16) was an Italian mainstay salad of fresh buffalo mozzarella, sweet juicy tomatoes and mesclun greens drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and garnished with sweet basil strips; -Insalata di Spinaci con Prosciutto Crudo e Melone ; -Minestrone;
3) Don't try: -Calamari Fritti (rubbery); -Cream of Mushroom ($12) (too thin and watery); -Linguine alla Vongole ($24) (sandy clams)

Quiet lunch place..but food so-so
Had lunch there with my colleagues today as we needed a quiet place for lunch. The first time few weeks back we wanted to go there, but a less-than-enthusiatic wait staff curtly told us:"we don't have set lunches. If you want set lunches, you can go next door", which was Jerry's BBQ and Grill.
Today the service was much better, although they still don't have set lunches. For a place with such a reputation, I actually find it quite unforgiving for them to serve cold run-of-the-mill plain crusty bread.
The main courses we had were so-so, with the spinach pasta and baked seafood pasta in tomato sauce tasting only so-so. The vongole was better as it was cooked just al dente with fresh clams. But alas, the mushroom risotto I had was just plain bland. Perhaps they meant to showcase the taste of the mushrooms, but the mushrooms needed to be r-e-a-l-l-y outstanding for that to happen. Sadly, they were not. Bland rice bland mushrooms with parsley = bland bland lunch. My colleague kept topping hers with salt just to liven up her tastebuds abit. Didn't stay for any dessert or coffee / tea in the end.
I went away disappointed, because I thought the food would match its reputation. Or maybe I was expecting too much huh. Probably won't be going back anytime soon.
