close, but not there yet. ok, i am very picky; but i love good food and a good experience, and this fell short. good; but a long way from great. very limited beer selection, my beverage of choice this night. oo for dipping herbed, but in a deep dish; herbs all at bottom! no cracked pepper offered, i got up and got it myself. bread very good, but already very soggy pre-dipping, odd. risotto al funghi; good flavor, but not finished. al dente is good, crunchy is not. almost no prosciutto (generous with varied mushrooms!), and while piping hot when served, was in a cold dish and cooled quickly; cold by the time i finished. waiter did not check on my drink until near the end of the meal, cost the restaurant an extra beer. shaved parmesan on risotto, but no extra offered. in basement, no phoneserviceor internet; my friend was late and couldn't get text. ambience very nice, but very loud; music was up loud, making it worse; and acoustics very poor. smoking right outside door. might go back; lady next to me raved about the carbonara (and believe me, i heard every word!), nothing like a second chance.
