My husband had ordered the Pappardells Funghi Salsiccia. He asked the waiter if the could take the mushrooms out. He said no but that the are chopped so fine he wouldn't if know they were there. They were huge and the most disgusting mushrooms I have ever eaten and I love mushrooms but after eating some of them zi don't want a mushroom anytime soon.

Food was so good. Novel takes on cocktails. Accommodating to food allergies Good overall service. Service great until it got super busy then lagged a bit. Not a big deal. We sat at the high top in the window next to the door. Cold tonight. We would have been better off, making a reservation in further in advance and getting a table in the dining room proper.

Overall, a pretty good dinner. Good seasonal menu items. The prosciutto and persimmon salad was great; the pizza was a bit undercooked but still pretty good; blueberry lemon cake was ordinary but good. A bit on the loud side, but it was busy so that’s expected. Great service as always.
