What People Are Saying About Prosecco

The Scene – Gilt chandeliers and mirrors, pale gold draperies and wall sconces hidden behind embroidered cloth shades successfully evoke the sumptuous glories of Venice. A small pour of the namesake sparkling wine, courtesy of the attentive staff, smoothes the way for an evening of civilized dining. Couples and intimate groups relax at tables decorated with a single red rose and a glowing white taper. – – The Food – The menu of seasonal Italian dishes begins with adventurous antipasti and carpaccio bar choices. Plump clams and black mussels are served in a garlicky…

Rather expensive without the payoff

by Gesq

I've been here twice and have yet to really enjoy a meal here. I love Northern Italian food but I was underwhelmed by the food here. The wine selection is nice, though pricey. The prices in general aren't outrageous, but they're certainly high - though it could just seem that way since I didn't enjoy my meals. I should disclose that I do not eat seafood and may be missing out on what this place does best, considering some of the other reviews.

The staff is friendly and attentive. The crowd here makes this place a bit more pretentious than the place itself. It seems that anytime people are drinking champagne/prosecco, they feel the need to imitate the aristocracy. The ambiance is great, though. It's a very nice place. I may try it again.

  • Pros: Great Ambience, Friendly Staff,
  • Cons: Mediocre meat dishes, Seems a bit pretentious, Expensive
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Yummy!

by idigtolstoy

Service is friendly, attentive , and the food all tastes like it was made from scratch. I think the reviewer mst be mistaking "pretentious" with auhenticity because the food here is yum. I love food -- but I love food that tastes what I would eat in someones home. It truly tastes how you expect and Italian would prepare food. On the contrary to the previous reviewer : I would like to emphasise that the feeling is elegant yet not pretentious. The theme may be Venezia but its very welcoming and reminiscent of a warm candlelit palazzo in Firenze. Lush cream and old colors very aestheticaly pleasing and warm ambience. The crowd there was also pretty hot -- a good looking gaggle of friendly sophisticates.

  • Pros: Impressive Italian Wine Selection, Food tastes authentic and uncompromised.
  • Cons: Tad bit pricey but so is quaker oatmeal and lemon curd in this economy.

Great pasta and seafood

by gfulgoni

Prosecco is in a great location and the restaurant has a wonderful open, airy feeling. Tables are not too lcose to each other. We ate there on a beautiful spring evening. My wife had salmon and she loved it. I had spaghetti with shrimp in a spicy tomato sauce. Rasta was perfectly cooked al dente. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Going there again in two weeks. Yum.

  • Pros: food, ambience, location
