This evening, we dined with friends at Cetrella for the first time. It is a beautiful dining room, well-located near public parking. Our friends got street parking right outside the front door! There were not many other people in the dining room, which had a bit of a dampening impact on the ambiance, but this was not a reflection of the food. We started with cocktails, which are a set price of $18 each. Between us, we ate crab cakes, beet salad, lamb meatballs and frito misto...
We went for dinner During a workday night and there were only a few people and very quiet. For starters, we had garlic prawns and roasted octopus. The octopus is very good and flavorful, despite small portion. The prawns are fine but I don't really taste much garlic flavor, rather tomato sauce like base flavor. For man entrees, we tried lamb shank and branzino. Lamb was cooked well and easy to get off the bone. Fish was also cooked fresh. Both flavors were okay, not stunning...
Excellent service in a modern, but stark, environment. Lamb meatballs were a good starter, especially when you get the warm bread to sop up.the thick sauce. Crabcakes were small and unremarkable and, for someone who used to live in Baltimore, they tasted nothing like Maryland crab cakes!
The mushroom risotto and half chicken were both stars, and the potatoes braves had a spicy kick. The white cake was tasteless and disappointing but the chocolate tart was a great end...
