Ristorante Machiavelli


Cute Italian restaurant with above average Italian food.  This place is small and crowded - 20 minutes to get a table, but well worth the wait.  I ordered the "special" - Butternut Squash Lasagna.  Excellent!!  
There wasn't anything too fancy on the menu, just normal pastas and salads you'd expect to see on any Italian menu.  No new-fangled pasta with trendy ingredients here!  And although I love trying out new restaurants with interesting dishes, it's nice to go to somewhere where you know exactly what you're getting and what to expect.  

What we ate:
BUTTERNUT SQUASH LASAGNA

HANDMADE GNOCCHI AL SUGO
Hand Rolled Potato Dumplings with Tomato Basil Sauce
