You are served gorgeous prosciutto and chunks of Parmasean with your drink. I had the grilled octopus and cannolini beans to start. It was tender and delicious.

By the time we arrived the dinner rush was ebbing away so the indoor dining area was more quiet. The interiors is elegantly decorated with a few appealing eccentric touches that give it a homey character.\n\nThe service was excellent. They had an extensive list of specials for the night that the gentleman who attended to us knew by heart. The sommelier warmly, yet unobtrusively introduced herself and helped my husband with his wine selection. Throughout our dinner, we were well cared for without having to interrupt conversation.\n\nTo be honest, I was expecting little more than glamorized Italian home cooking at Sistina. I am so glad to be proven otherwise. Yes, there are familiar dishes. However, they were prepared with care that our food were a feast to the eyes AND palate. Each dish was carefully nuanced with layers of flavor and texture, that it would be almost sinful not to savor them. We got the beef carpaccio and crudo. Slivers of beef with summer truffles — who knew how heavenly this combination would be? The selection of seafood in the crudo was well proportioned and seasoned just enough to allow the natural fresh seafood taste of each selection to shine (I’m still dreaming about those scallops!).\n\nWe had pasta as our main course. My husband ordered the Trapanese - assorted nuts and spice to enrobe their homemade spaghetti. It sounds very simple, but given how his eyes watered, it must’ve been akin to a religious experience. Yes, I checked if his dish was too spicy and he assured me that it wasn’t. 😄\n\nI picked the Squid ink linguini with seafood for myself. I didn’t detect that inky taste from the squid in the pasta, which for some people might have been a good thing. I wish that there was more than a hint of it though, but that’s a personal preference. The assortment of seafood was very generous.\n\nWe got chocolate soufflé for dessert and it was glorious! Well worth the price of an expanded belly!","submittedDateTime":"2023-08-27T23:17:41Z","rating":{"overall":5,"__typename":"ReviewRating"},"user":{"nickname":null,"isVip":null,"profileColor":"PUMPKIN","initials":"OT","simpleModerationState":"APPROVED","profilePhoto":{"photoBySize":null,"__typename":"PublicDinerProfilePhoto"},"__typename":"ReviewUser"},"highlights":[{"startIndex":1288,"endIndex":1293,"__typename":"ReviewHighlight"},{"startIndex":1702,"endIndex":1707,"__typename":"ReviewHighlight"}],"__typename":"DishReview"},{"reviewId":"OT-96577-2109869308-130049067783","text":"WOW!!!

Wonderful. Although we are East Siders, we had never visited Sistina until an event nearby sent us in search of a convenient dinner spot. What a terrific find. The service was impeccable. The menu is superfluous as Antonio, our waiter, reeled off a long list of specials for every course. I had a tasty fried oysters dish and a spinach pasta with venison ragu. My wife had a fish dish, and our son had a salad and gnocchi. Then three tasty desserts. A bit pricier than we expected, but well worth it. We'll be going back.
