il Casale Lexington - Lexington, Massachusetts

Junko

初めて伺いました。
ワインなどアルコール類は充実していますし、お洒落なイタリア料理のお店です。
エビとムール貝のトマトソースパスタを注文。マンは少し太めののリングイネで、もちもちしています。お酒には合うと思いますが、トマトソースにはシーフード味が出ていますが、少し塩分と酸味が強めです。

野菜のサラダは、新鮮でドレッシングがおいしく、カリカリのベーコンと刻んだナッツが良いアクセントになってい美味しかったです。

ムール貝は臭みがないのですが、味がよくわかりませんでした。

私はノンアルコールのハイネケンを飲んだのですが、お酒が好きな方なら、味については問題ないと思います。

Valentine’s Day meal was amazing! Braised venison rigatoni was so tender and flavorful. Branzino was Service is always attentive and warm. Barrel aged Manhattan cannot be beat. Thank you for a wonderful evening

Don’t get the octopus, it was very bad. The restaurant was out of bread and many other essential items on the menu. The table we were sitting at was dirty and service was polite but awkward. Would not go back. For the price we paid, the experience should’ve been 5x better.

The food is overpriced and the waiters are dressed unprofessionally. The food itself is also not anything special. DO NOT GET THE OCTOPUS! It is way to salty and it looks like it was just thrown together. The calamari is ok. The pasta doesn’t have much flavor. The bread is under proofed. The kitchen is unsanitary the chefs aren’t wearing hair nets. In addition I saw one waiter pick something off a plate and throw it to the ground then lick her fingers. Disgusting.

Food was delicious! Prices seemed a little high for how casual the ambience was (especially outside on metal blue tables) but everything was great - INCREDIBLE arancini. Though the servers were loudly moving around lots of tables next to us in the middle of our dinner which was a bit distracting, but nothing we could've done about that.

We grew up in Lexington and this was our family go to restaurant. Not any more. The service was good but the food was terrible. The artichokes were over fried. The veal was tough the prosciutto thick and even tougher. The sole was had too many capers and the veal was over seasoned with sage. Even with all the extra spices the food was bland. At more than $60 pp with one glass of wine this was an extremely disappointing experience.

We had made a reservation a day before. We selected patio. Big mistake. They have no plan for rain. We were told that it wasn't expect to rain when seated. Service (waiter, food runners) were great dealing with us as we were the only ones outside. However by the time we ordered it was drizzling and when our food came it was raining. We were told we couldn't be accommodated inside, so we finished our dinner in the rain. Homemade spaghetti was good but portions were small and baby corn added nothing to the vegetarian dish.

Met a friend who recommended this place since it was equidistant. She had been here before and thought it was good. Our experience was totally ruined because there were mice scurrying on the floor underneath the seats! My friend saw something run by and kept looking at the floor, which made me nervous as wr thrn both picked up our purses off the floors. Then we tried to give it the benefit of the doubt that it was not a mouse. But then after we finished our meal, she saw it run by again and pointed it out to us. Our raised voices caught the attention of the 2 men at the close by table who said that they had been seeing the mice as well. When we told the waiter, he minimized it and said someone had already told him and he had informed the owner who was going to call pest control the next day. He apologized for the experience but offered nothing, which was very poor customer service for such an awful experience. I will not be coming back and hope this will forward folks who might be wary of mice in a restaurant.

Regarsing the food, we shared the calamari, which was fine. Batter was too heavy for my preference and marina was bland. The battered zucchini was different and interesting although I would have preferred to get more calamari than filler fried veggies. I got the short rib ravioli which was tasty although I'm grossed out now about where it was prepared and whether the mice are running rampant in the kitchen. We skipped dessert since we were eager to leave after seeing the mice. Not really sure if this incident was a one off like the waiter said but there are plenty of places to eat so I will not return, especially given how the staf and ownerf seemed to take it so lightly.
