My wife and I went to Scalini Fedeli for our second wedding anniversary. I was a little skeptical because 5 of the 7 first courses on the menu on their website feature mushrooms which I'm not a big fan of. But we decided to try it out after hearing a lot of great things about it. We were definitely very impressed. I ordered a pasta dish with a game sauce made with venison, hare, Barolo wine, and chocolate. It was fantastic. The pasta was perfect and the bits of game meats were chopped so finely that there were pieces in every bite. My wife ordered the Ecuadorian shrimp in a roma tomato sauce with fresh mozzarella and prosciutto wrapped melon. The sauce was very light and tasty and the shrimp were very sweet. For the second course I ordered the sliced duck breast with foie gras. It was hands down the best duck I've ever had. It was cooked perfectly, was tender with a nice crisp skin. My wife ordered the filet mignon and we were both shocked by the two large filets that were brought out to her.
Pros: the food, service, ambience, menu size, parking (valet)
Cons: the sorbet, a little too expensive to go there every week
