An excellent Italian restaurant in downtown Madison, WI. We caught this place out of the corner of our eye and boy am I glad we stopped in for dinner. It's not a large place, but it's very cozy and we had a great time kidding around with the staff. The food is excellent - every one of the six of us in the group had nothing but good things to say.  They brought some freshly-baked bread to the table and we ate probably 3-4 baskets of the stuff. The butter for the bread was awesome. I wish I could remember what was in it (it was a compound butter) but I can't. Just know that it's really good.  Salads for our group were: Insalata Caprise (mozzarella, tomatoes, artichokes, basil, garlic, olive oil); House salads, we tried different dressings including Spicy Gorgonzola, Spicy tomato and Italian Chunk. Each were great but I'll warn you that the spicy part is true. It's a heat that builds up the more you eat it. Delicious.  I had the Spaghetti Alla Bolognese which was to die for. The sauce is wonderful and the dish was served with a small side of sauteed green beans. For such a simple dish, I was very impressed. Others in our group had Rigatoni Alla Vodka (both gave it great reviews) and Fettuccine Alla Corsara (pasta w/ salmon) and it also got great reviews.  I highly recommend this restaurant - we were blown away by the food and the wait staff.

En utmärkt italiensk restaurang i centrala Madison, WI. Vi fångade det här stället ur ögonvrån och jag är glad att vi kom på middag. Det är inget stort ställe, men det är väldigt mysigt och vi hade kul med personalen. Maten är utmärkt - var och en av oss i gruppen hade inget annat än bra saker att säga. De tog lite nybakat bröd till bordet och vi åt troligen 3-4 korgar av det. Smöret till brödet var häftigt. Jag önskar att jag kunde komma ihåg vad som fanns i den (det var ett sammansatt smör) men jag kan inte. Vet bara att det är riktigt bra. Sallader för vår grupp var: Insalata Caprise (mozzarella, tomater, kronärtskockor, basilika, vitlök, olivolja); Hussallader, vi provade olika dressingar inklusive Spicy Gorgonzola, Spicy tomat och italienska Chunk. Båda var bra, men jag ska varna er att den kryddiga delen är sann. Det är en hetta som bygger upp ju mer man äter den. Delikat. Jag hade Spaghetti Alla Bolognese som skulle dö för. Såsen är underbar och rätten serverades med en liten sida av sauteed gröna bönor. För en så enkel rätt blev jag mycket imponerad. Andra i vår grupp hade Rigatoni Alla Vodka (båda gav det fina recensioner) och Fettuccine Alla Corsara (pasta w/ lax) och den fick också fina recensioner. Jag rekommenderar starkt denna restaurang - vi blev bortblåsta av maten och servicepersonalen. Gavs denna recension positivt eller negativt? ALTERNATIV: - negativ - positiv
