Cascina Spinasse, Capitol Hill
Date - April 23rd, 2009
Background - Greg's dad was in town for his birthday so we used his visit as an excuse to check out Spinasse which I'd heard good things about and was dying to try.
Atmosphere - Cute and cozy. We sat at the bar which allowed us a great view of the partially exposed kitchen and all the goodies it was producing. There are only about six tables including one communal table.
Service - Good with a slightly snobby edge.
Drink- Great northern Italian wine selection. I had a wonderful glass of a Italian sparkling white that wasn't prosecco. I asked what it was called once but couldn't really understand the response. I didn't see it listed on the menu. I will just have to go back and find out!
Food - Amazing. We ate family style and had prosciutto, salami, tajarin al ragu, nettle ravioli (all their pastas are homemade) and the rabbit. All were delicious. We finished with a few chocolates.
Verdict - 4.5 stars. My new favorite Italian outside of Italy.
