Al Boccalino   

While a bit pricey, Al Bocalino has never failed to satisfy whether as the location for a "Dine Out For Life" dinner of 8-10 to a solo "lunch whilst in the area". The main dishes, whether at dinner or lunch, have consistently been savory. The wine selection, my drinking friends tell me, is excellent. And the deserts sinful and satiating. Try it, and the only problem you'll have is discovering an addictive drain to your pocket book.

With great expectations we went to dinner at al Boccalino. I had the shrimp risotto which was an evening specialty. The risotto was bland and the shrimp had merely been boiled with no seasoning. My husband had the veal marsala and it too had no flavor except for the flour it was dusted in. We were totally disappointed.
