Comment Card: L'Artusi

On the Plate: Raw scallops with lemon, sea-salt and espelette (red pepper, looks like paprika) grilled endive salad, a bucatini pasta (thick strand of spaghetti with a hole through it) with a lamb ragu (The waitress told me it wasn't tomato-based, but it was!), and the olive-oil cake. Liked the scallop, endive wasn't bad, pasta was tasty, but wasn't exceptional, especially for the price point. Olive-oil cake was satisfying.

Food: Passable
Service: Decent
Ambiance: Stripey and comfy. Bar is quite nice.
Price: Too much for what it is (Entrees are $22-35.)
Verdict: 6/10 Eat at the bar with a glass of wine and some cheese. Not too terrible, but doesn't seem like a "find".
