They also have a very good wine list and often pour good Brunello or even Barolo by the glass, which is rare. I do not eat shellfish (allergy), but fellow diners report that the lobster is quite good also.

I also enjoyed their warm baby artichokes with pistachio. Yum! Thu Dec 28 17:41:35 -0800 2006 1175857 62452 young_nyc_foodie
