RESTAURANT REVIEW

How about a restaurant with good service, terrific ambiance, very good food and absolutely nothing to complain about.  That restaurant is Piccolino on Robertson Blvd.  Silvio, one of the owners, is charming and attentive:  unlike that jerk at Sur.  The tables are placed spaciously in a fairly compact area and you never have the feeling of being crowded.  Service is delightful all the way from the owner, hostess, waiter to the busboy.  I had a sensational Linguini with lemon and sage.  Simple and delicious.  There were 7 of us for lunch and everyone enjoyed their choices.  I ordered a house Toscana chianti which was a perfect compliment to the pasta.  For desert, Silvio sent over a gift of a large bowl of dark, rich chocolate Mousse.  I realize these accolades are a bit over the top, but after my experience at Sur - it was a revelation.

I've booked for dinner this coming Monday, looking forward to Fegato ala Veneziano.  Holy cholesterol!
