Restaurant week has begun, and with it, the decline of my wallet...
Actually, I've only got one reservation, and it has already gone by. I ate lunch at L'Impero today with Andres. It's in a genteel, quiet part of town. The decor is all dark woods and creamy curtains and accents of light teal, lovely, I thought, except that the ceilings in the raised portion were a bit low.
Anyway, started off with bread and delectable olive oil which had hints of lemon and rosemary. Appetizer I had the fricassee of mushrooms, which was really good and tasted of something familiar yet unnamed in my mind. Entree I chose the roasted skate. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, really good. Dessert was excellent as well: sesame cannolis with a delicate mascarpone center and off-tasting fruit.
All in all, very lovely.
