Lost Letter was an absolute pleasure to dine at. A delicious assortment of food, knowledge staff, perfected service and atmosphere, and the best wine I've ever had. An unforgettable night!
Food was tasty. Was a bit overpriced for the serving size. I expected gnudi when I ordered gnudi but instead I received regular pasta with a lot of pesto. That was disappointing. Maybe trying a bit too hard. The rabbit was good. It was prepared like an Asian dumpling soup, not spectacular. A bit unexpected but an enjoyable meal. Probably not returning as I did not get what was ordered and it was expensive for what was served.
I’m new at leaving reviews but I truly think it’s important thing to do. This place was beautiful, service was amazing. Workers were polite and good was good, not cooked exactly how we wanted but not their fault Recommend 100%

The burrata and beef tartare are particularly noteworthy, with the former featuring a delightful combination of blood orange, hazelnuts, and fennel. The mushroom risotto packs a heavy earthy punch, while the Meyer lemon bucatini offers a light and airy flavor profile. Guests also highly recommend the ensalata, the shrimp, and the chocolate hazelnut crumble. Dessert enthusiasts can indulge in the delicious tiramisu, which travels well and is a satisfying end to the meal.
