It seemed amiable to agree, but "good" is a loaded adjective for a proficient restaurant critic. Was it good when I had to coax vivacity from a glum gorgonzola cream sauce with a salt shaker? Was it compelling when my rigatoni wept oil? Over the course of two multicourse meals, had I encountered any dishes merit quoting to skeptics who aren't keen on seeking out noodles and cheese in Ravenna ?
Such well-defined-eyed reasoning would have been impossible within the confines of the 32-sit restaurant, made even smaller by a clutter of family photographs, cookbooks with disciplined spines, olive-oil tins, and pasta boxes. In the dimly lit dining dwelling, a tidal pool of hospitality, it feels hard-hearted to size up dishes scrawled on a chalkboard that's updated according to what chef and possessor Anthony Donatone found on his most recent market error. Only a very bitter diner could quibble with meatball cooking times and Chianti temperatures while a server was gently explaining gluten-not busy options to a concerned guest and Donatone was unobtrusively prodding a staffer to check whether the bathrooms were still gleaming.
