I came here for dinner with a friend, and was impressed, especially because of the restaurant's unassuming exterior. The interior was sophisticated with a black, red and white color scheme, as well as dim lighting. There was a warm ambiance to the place.We had to ask for it, but were given complimentary garlic bread with olive oil and vinegar. The bread was still warm, crunchy, fluffy, with strong garlic taste.For my entree, I ordered the Veal Sorrentino, consisting of veal layered eggplant prosciutto with fresh mozzarella, served with sautéed veggies and potatoes. The veal was lightly pounded, tender, and well seasoned. The eggplant was cooked perfectly, while the prosciutto added an extra yumminess. The mozzarella was irresistibly melty with tasty sherry sauce. The veggies included zucchini, carrot and squash. They were a nice fresh touch and had just the right consistency. I also enjoyed the potatoes, which had a satisfying crispiness. My friend and I also shared the Truffle Oil and Pecorino Frites, which were oh so addicting and delightfully crispy with authentic truffle flavor and sharp flavor of the cheese dusted all around.I also had to get the Calzone Alla Nutella dessert, which was absolutely huge and beautifully presented. I had to take half of it home. The plate was decorated with strawberry sauce and chocolate sauce, as well as strawberries, blueberries, along with raspberries. The outer shell of the Calzone was satisfyingly crispy, filled with warm, oozing, rich, delicious Nutella. Service was decent. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. Prices were not too bad, especially considering the Hell's Kitchen location. I would be open to returning to try the Shrimp Parmigiana or Steak & Frites.
