Was wondering for anyone whose been there if they could pass along recommendations of dishes. I've heard the apps and pasta are what's really good and to pass on entrees all together, but want to get the chowhound's opinions. Thanks in advance...

I also love the tripe and burrata with artichoke. I balance it out with the butter lettuce salad usually. I skip the entrees. If I'm doing dessert, my fave is the olive oil cake. It's what was recommended by one of the women working behind the Mozzarella bar (not Nancy), and she was right!

Fri Jun 20 15:59:54 -0700 2008 3798830 19980 kellydeez 1 3800324 Definitely the raviolo with egg and ricotta. New dish of egg with truffle cheese and shaved mushrooms knocked me out last night I love the strawberry crepe dessert. The one with roasted cherries in balsamic vinegar and a almond pastry is very good also.
