Linnea’s 4-star review:
My boyfriend and I were undecided on where we were going to go for our two year (which was yesterday). After minutes of debating a light bulb went off in my head. BERETTA, duh.
Why didn't I suggest this before. So we were off! Found parking right off the bat like last time, even though the streets were busy and Beretta was packed. As we walked in from the chilly outdoors, I found that warmth again that brought back the memories I had of my last dinner here. They sat us immediately, like last time, only we were seated at the long, middle table between the bar and two people tables. Okay, that's fine.
My boyfriend ordered a beer, onion bread, and gulf shrimp. Since it's Friday and I said in my previous review I wanted so much to try their shrimp I ordered it. I also ordered baked polenta (again :)) and white blanc wine. YUM.
Everything was amazing, as predicted. The shrimp were HUGE and came on top of mashed potatoes which was divine. The wine was so savory I went for another glass. The onion bread was soft, melted in your mouth and was paired with an oil dip. We topped the night off with the same dessert I had last time, the bonet. It was just as good this time as it was last.
The reason why I knocked off a star was for the following:
The stools were a wee bit uncomfortable according to my boyfriend.
The center table is way too close to the bar. There were some drunkards who kept bumping into my boyfriend while he was eating. Kind of frustrating.
Lastly, I tried to order the Tomato Risotto again but the waiter said they don't have it anymore. WHAT THE HELL. That was the best dish I've ever tasted. I could of cried...but I didn't.
The service was excellent as usual. I'm always surprised by how quick they are considering how packed it normally is.
We had a good anniversary :)
