Bar Cantinetta was easy to find, and easy to enjoy. Staff here are courteous, generous with the conversation, and have a good sense of humor. My date and I got a handful of antipasti plates and one main dish over drinks. The cocktails, even tho off the menu, were made well and a good sipping strength. The watermelon antipasti was a standout, as were the artichokes. There wasn't anything to complain about food wise. If you're a fan of truffles I highly recommend the fontina fonduta, which comes with a struggle butter for the baguette. This is a great spot for a casual, but intimate, date night or reconnecting with old friends over light bites.
Excellent! Went here for a date night and chose it due to the small, intimate feel and of course gourmet Italian dishes. There are only a few tables inside and outside on the patio. There is AC inside which is a plus for the summer heat!
Had the baguette and fondue appetizer ($8), and the truffle pasta and Dungeness crab risotto (both $28) for mains. Must get the crab risotto, every bite was so flavorful, creamy, and the crab tasted fresh. The bartender made me an incredible mocktail! Service was friendly and made sure our waters were always filled. We will be back!
So lovely. On a fully booked night they made space at the bar. My 2 girl friends and I just had drinks and appetizers and they treated us just like a 5 party full dinner table. Everything we had was gorgeous and everyone was so lovely. The green beans are the sleeper hit on the appetizer menu, don’t skip them. The bartender introduced us to Nocino, this awesome walnut aperitif. A beautiful cap to the end of a great night. We’ll have to come back with reservations!
