Profile

This is pretty much the only game in town when it comes to faithful renditions of Apulian regional dishes (Apulia is the heel of Italy's boot). The chef brings this rustic cuisine into sharp focus, and provides a welcome relief from typical Southern Italian red-sauce monotony. The garden is lovely in summer; ditto the fireplace in winter. The adjacent Enoteca I Trulli wine bar is great for a light bite and a glass of one of 500 Italian wine selections. — Steven A. Shaw

Recommended Dishes

Cavatelli (Apulian flour dumplings with broccoli rabe and roasted almonds), $21

It was quite a disappointing meal. The pasta tasted like leftovers. It was smothered in olive oil to hide an otherwise completely unremarkable preparation. It tasted stale and reheated. The snapper was all skin and no fish. The duck came with a pleasant polenta, but the duck it self was overcooked (not medium rare as the waiter said they prepare it) and gristly. And goodness, I love salt, but the shaker must have popped open and the entire bottle of salt fallen onto the duck. Nearly inedible. Dessert was better left not discussed. Plain and shockingly tasteless (as in bland rather than say pornographic) If intent on braving the mediocre food, one tip: there were two hostesses, the blond seems confused and un-adept, the brunette who sat us (after the other got confused)was very pleasant. The wine was good (a Sicilian white) and the staff kept the glasses filled.

I know it was a crowded Thursday night but I was disappointed that my promised patio table was not available. Besides bad seating , several of the specials were not available (come on no more meatballs!) , food was delivered at different times and not hot , service was spotty etc etc The drinks were good but were served in glasses slightly larger than a shot glass! Overall very disappointing and not a good value.
