Tartina

I met a group of friends last Saturday night 11/13/2021 for dinner and the whole experience was amazing. Some of the highlights of our meal were the Rice Balls, the pasta with swordfish and Pistachios. The linguini with seafood in a lemon sauce. The hot stone Steak and the Pistachio encrusted Lamb. To top it all off the Italian Cheese cake and Tiramisu are worth every bite. I will definitely be back

Brunch was amazing! Went a while ago and still thinking about it. Have to go back soon and more often. Had the ravioli and it was so good, the fresh ingredients make a world of difference. And the pancakes for brunch... people who don't even like pancakes couldn't get enough of these! Top it off with mimosas and this is a wonderful, solid, delicious meal!

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Tartina. We stopped by with friends before seeing a play and were delighted by every dish. Collectively we ordered the calamari and shrimp fritti, oysters, panariello, and arancino. All of the appetizers were great and packed with flavor. For our entrees we ordered the cacio e pepe, Bolognese, gnocchi massaia, vitello alla costiera. They were all delicious and filling, and I think my favorite had to be the gnocchi and the vitello. The gnocchi were the most wonderfully delicate pillows of flavor I have ever had and the sauce was to die for. The dish was so good that it made me realize I'd never had truly good gnocchi until last night. The vitello was tender and juicey and I sighed with happiness after each bite. For dessert we ordered the panna cotta, profiterole, fragola, and tiramisu. Once again all dishes were wonderful, but my favorite was the tiramisu closely followed by the panna cotta. The sponge of the tiramisu was light and fluffy and all the flavors were perfectly balanced, it was truly a joy to eat. On top of all the delicious food the service was wonderful. We were waited on by Victor and he was lovely and provided the best service. Everyone on staff was kind and attentive and made the whole experience not only one to remember, but one to cherish. I look forward to going again.

**BEWARE** My credit card was not returned to us with our receipt to sign and there was no attempt by the waiter to return it to us. We paid as we finished dinner and were there for 10-15 mins more finishing our drinks. The waiter was happy to visit our table to grab the signed receipt while we were still sitting there, but at no point during this was any attempt made to return my card. I didn't notice until we were already on the bus heading home at which point, we ran back to the restaurant to retrieve the card. When we got back (~5-10 mins later), we searched all around the table and found nothing. Our waiter finally comes out from the kitchen and almost seemed surprised that we came back. He was very slow to retrieve it and seemed to shuffle around a lot of things in the cash register (where my card had somehow ended up). Needless to say, I've already started the miserable process of replacing the card as I do not trust these people. As to the rest of the dining experience, in a single word, lackluster. The portions were tiny, the food lacked flavor, and the service was about as present as my card after dinner. I'm extremely disappointed that we stumbled across this place for a date night and felt I needed to apologize to my fiancé for how terrible it was.
