If you are not a vegan and want a true experience for your night out, please come to his restaurant! As a skeptic, I came into Foglia feeling like I was doing a favor for my friend who wanted to try it. We stepped into the calming interior and the hostess was so friendly, the waitstaff so informative, passionate, and knowable, I suspected I may be in for finer things than I anticipated. When we were served an amuse-bouche (just because they wanted to), I was intrigued and sat up a bit straighter wondering where this was going to go...WOW!
Then the salad. Calling it just a "salad" doesn't do it justice. the flavors, the dressing, the croutons!
Chef Pete, then came over and introduced himself to us which made me feel slightly suspicious, and so welcome, all at the same time. I didn't know his award-winning background and he was humble and welcoming.
Our entree, the Tempeh, was ABSOLUTELY outstanding. The flavors on that plate were in my dreams last night. Also, we split both the salad and the entree and they thoughtfully split it for us in the kitchen and the presntations of both those were spectacular!
Well, we unfortunately had drinks before we came, which was awful once we saw the bartender carefully concoct her specialties. But I will go back just for one of those scrumptious drinks for sure!
Finally, as two, mature women, we couldn't find room for dessert. No problem, they said...and presented us with two mini chocolate chip cookies from the kitchen to satiate us for a final time.
A five-star restaurant right on State Street??? Absolutely! Get there soon, as Chef Pete will keep getting the awards he so deserves and there won't be room in the near future, I predict!!! What an experience!!! Thank you, Foglia!!!
