This is a relatively new place down on Broad street. They have a good variety of Italian style food as well as some excellent meat and fish entrees. Here's what Fredo had: Carpaccio appetizer: Raw fillet mignon hammered paper thin and served with a little olive oil and Parmesan curls. Cesar salad: Perfect quantity and very fresh. Obviously house made dressing applied in precisely the correct quantity. Fillet Mignon: This is the only place in town where one can get a properly cooked rare steak. It's about 8-10oz and absolutely perfect. Served with a light herb cream sauce and fresh asparagus. Lemon sorbet: Made in house and served with a splash of vodka over the top. On top of the food, the dining room itself is very cool. It's in the basement of some sort of old industrial building or warehouse. This gives it a sort of hip yet slightly old world rustic kind of feel. A person just feels a little bit cooler having eaten here. Fredo says: A +

Went there again last night. Had the involtini del ouesta.
It's a chicken breast hammered flat, topped with a thin slice of prosciutto and a bit of marscapone cheese then rolled up and broiled. It's served with a balsamic vinegar and shitake reduction and a side of fettuccine al fredo.
OMG it's good!

Mrs Fredo is a lacto ovo vegetarian. I'll get back to you on the entree.

Good Lord! A friend of mine went there last night for dinner and tells me it was delicious! Unfortunately, they don't open for lunch. I don't know when I'll get to try it as my husband doesn't much like coming downtown.

OMG it's good! my wife and i enjoyed a meal at boccoccia last night. i had the same entree that you had, but the menu lists fontina cheese instead of marscapone cheese. it was quite delicious. my wife had the spinach ravioli and she loved it as well.
