    We've only been to the Zuni a few times, but we were longing for their hamburgers and shoestring potatoes. As usual, they did not disappoint us. We ate them and had a sidecar as well, The sidecar was new to us, and very enjoyable. So was the Gateau Victoire -- a rich chocolate cake with whipped cream. We also had a port with dessert. All wonderful. There are many other things on the menu, which I'm sure are also wonderful. We'll go back to try them out.

    We ate at Bella Trattoria on Friday, Feb 8th (2025). Our reservation was for 7PM, but they were extermely busy and we did not get seated until 7:25PM. They apologized and comped us some Prosecco for keeping us waiting. I had the prix fixe menu, starting with the fagioli e scarole soup (a bitter greens stew with beans and crostini), a main course of Osso Bucco, and fnishing with the panna cotta. Everything was excellent. I tried my dining companions' dishes, Amatriciana (yummy!), and Sorrentina (the most delicate gnocci I've ever had). We will go back.
