Cantoro Trattoria

Universally admired restaurant, lives up to its reputation. Have attended many dinners and bar sessions here, including large work dinners to dining alone at the bar. Always a winner, and the staff is fantastic.

Two suggestions:
1. The overhead lights in the new dining room are FAR too bright. They act like stage spotlight that completely over-light anybody sitting under them, spoiling the mood and creating lots of heat. If they don’t fix this, avoid sitting in that room, or sneak up and push the light into the well so that it doesn’t blast you!
2. The fantastically conceived pizzas are served onon served on ceramic plate, which reflects the steam coming off the marvelous crust, causing that crust to lose its otherwise excellent crispness. If they don’t correct this, request your pizza to be served in to-go cardboard box, but with the lid open (if they close the lid, you get the same problem).

Great food!
