We came out for the Dine for Life, and found everything to be exceptional. All courses were delicious. Some of the best octopus I've ever eaten. The eggplant...I'm thinking of it now and would like it again. Preparation on our skate wing and halibut exceeded our expectations. And wine list was not too pricey.

I had been told about Anteprima by several friends, so I decided to try it. I was disappointed, at first, because I had specifically asked one friend if it was a good place to have a conversation, and was told that it was. Sadly, like too many urban American restaurants these days, the room was overly loud, with the voices of the diners competing with the background music. I do so long for a quiet place to dine out. However, I enjoyed my dinner, while my partner felt that his had too much spice to be able to tease out all of the various flavors in his meal. All in all it was pleasant enough.

Love Anteprima and had a great meal. Love the back patio. Only slight negative on this visit was the saffron tagliatelle with rabbit - pasta perfectly cooked, but somewhat lacking in flavor. Also, several very small bone fragments from the rabbit. Otherwise, excellent meal, service and atmosphere.
