We made the smart decision of trying a new restaurant after not eating all day. Naturally, because we didn't know what we would like other than just about everything, we ordered A LOT. And they got us with an irresistible happy hour deal (4-6pm, not sure which days - I went on Tuesday), half off meatballs and 16" specialty pizza. And there are half off deals for adult drinks too but we didn't order any tonight so not sure which qualify. Service was excellent. They were very attentive and came by to check on us throughout the meal. The environment was very unique, Western meets Italian.
We started off with the beef ravioli, which was a great appetizer. My 2 year old loved it too. The marinara is so fresh and well seasoned, I would eat it straight up if I hadn't told my kid not to. The beef ravioli could hold its own without the marinara but combining the two makes this starter a show stopper!
For entrees, we ordered the shrimp scampi and Uncle Paul's CFS. I loved the capers in the shrimp scampi; it provided a good balance that cut through the creaminess and cheesiness of the sauce. The shrimp were large and plentiful. The little bread stick on the side though, omg. Like seriously. The pasta was very delicious but that bread stick was imported from heaven. Uncle Paul's CFS was the only dish that didn't exceed expectations. We got to try the meatballs through ordering this dish and I enjoyed the meatballs much more than the fully cooked ribeye. The meatballs are moist and yummy. While the ribeye was moist, why on earth was it fully cooked??? I brought it home to combine with something else for a later meal.
Finally, we ordered a 6 shooter pizza because we were hungry and it was a great deal. The flavors on that thing were like fireworks going off one after another bite after bite. It was really, really good. It is on the salty side and something in there is spicy. I personally enjoyed the crust, which was soft rather than crispy. And of course, the tomato sauce like their marinara was perfection.
We had planned to order tiramisu but really did not have any room left for it. That's a good thing because now we can order it next time! Thanks for an amazing meal Sfereco (pronounced sphere co)!
