We had the best meal at Osterai Al Doge back in March and Sam & I decided to return last Friday night before attending a super performance of OLS FRIENDS on Broadway!
Sadly, the food was not as good, although Sam loved his superb Pizza Napolitana(without the anchovies, of course).
On the last visit I fell in love with the fried artichoke salad special and was sad it was not on the menu, so I tried the Tomato Carpaccio special salad with greens and goat cheese. When serving heirloom tomatoes, it is mandatory to remove the hard stems and parts which are inedible, this was NOT done, making me have to carve up each slice like a surgeon. The dish was lackluster and truly a disappointment and at $23 a REAL RIP-OFF!
Samuel did better with his Burrata and beef salad, but neither would have won any third or fourth place prize even!

My main was Fegato alla Veneziana and the calf's liver came in small chunks, some of which were a tad chewy. The Grilled Polenta and Asparagus were nice, but after our March visit I must say that if I return, it will be for the pizza, unless they bring back that artichoke salad!
