...main course, we sampled two of the rustic pasta dishes. The gnocchi ($20) was doughy and chewy, but not excessively heavy—a fine feat for gnocchi. It was served with a bouquet of mushrooms. In fact, the dish seemed to be more mushrooms than gnocchi, a clever formula that prevented the pasta from seeming overbearing. But the fettucelle ($14) stole the show. We weren’t surprised when we learned that this delicate pasta was made fresh in the kitchen by clearly skilled hands...
...noodles glided down smoothly, dancing in a savory mixture of duck ragout and tomatoes. The duck was prepared as the best duck should be—it literally fell apart as we bit into it. The only disappointment on the menu was the rapini ($5), a side dish that resembled broccoli. We couldn’t be sure if the dish also tasted like broccoli, for an overzealous cook burnt it to the point where the taste of charcoal overshadowed any of the other flavors...
...with Star Wars: Episode II--Attack of the Clones opening May 16, the Anakin fable gets to the middle, the meat, the real story.

...good job of covering the basic culinary bases without going too far afield. The simple Italian dressing on the baby arugula salad ($8) was plain as advertised, but it was also all that the delicious mound of fresh greens needed. Only a better asiago could have improved this dish. The bibb lettuce salad ($7) was also impressive, with a nice dijon vinaigrette and good gorgonzola. The cilantro leaves seemed a bit large and obtrusive, but at least that made them easier to avoid. In addition to these two, the diminutive menu offers a basic iceberg wedge and two meat salads?...
