This week enjoy dinner at Tulio Ristorante:

"“Happy crowds” cram into chef Walter Pisano’s “bustling”, “classy” restaurant in the Hotel Vintage Park for “sweet potato gnocchi”, “rissotti” and other Italian specialties that are “always a treat”; “old-world charm” abounds, as does service that makes you “feel like a king or a queen”; N.B. for wine lovers, the Italian list numbers some 200 labels." - Zagat.com

"First you'll spot the convivial crowd filling the sidewalk tables. Antique revolving doors spin you into a bustling entryway where an elegant spiral staircase sweeps upward to a grand private dining room. To the left is the sophisticated, very intimate bar where everyone looks fetching in the soft, amber light. Straight ahead is the crowded, festive dining room, which ends at an exhibition kitchen where you might spy entire prosciutti hanging from the ceiling beams: Tulio smokes all of its own meats in the European style. While you'll find little wood-fired pizzas on the menu, you'll also encounter handmade pastas, such as tender gnocchi drenched in brown butter and sage, or panzotti, triangular dumplings stuffed with prosciutto and mascarpone in a mushroom broth. The kitchen turns out a deft risotto that changes with the seasons and soups like cipollini and grilled radicchio simmered in a heady chicken broth. Main courses run to roasted and grilled meat, fish and game. We like the grilled rib-eye, the hefty prosciutto-stuffed veal chop, the wood-roasted salmon and the ricotta-whipped mashed potatoes. Genial chef Walter Pisano, scion of the longtime New York restaurant family, was formerly sous chef at the Jean-Louis restaurant in Washington's Watergate hotel. The wine list is filled with Italian gems and desserts are always worth the splurge." - Gayot.com
