A somewhat disappointing meal. Perhaps we came on an off night where the food wasn't up to par given the general reviews. It was a busy night, so we won't be too harsh on the servers and the generally surly staff. The polenta was rather bland (not the rich corn flavor one should expect from the dish). My tortelli in the Mantovan style were the best item, tasty and a hearty dish. The worst, however, was the duck pasta. When I say it was like canned meat over pasta, I'm not exaggerating. The duck was cooked to mush, but the the absolutely shocking part from someone who has worked in restaurants was that multiple very sharp bone shards from the duck were left in the pasta--little daggers ready to cut your mouth. If cooks in many restaurants let this happen, it would be their last day as it shows sloppy attention to the well being of the diner.

The best part of the meal was the homemade nocino mixed with grappa. It was delicious but unfortunately this restaurant left a sour taste in our mouth.
