Roberto Cafe

I've been to Roberto's twice over the course of two years living in the Grad Hospital area and both experiences were consistently enjoyable. There's a fair selection of delicious classic seafood and pasta dishes but what we usually went for were some of the daily specials depending on the availability of seasonal ingredients. There are typically 3 or more choices each for the special antipastos, pastas, and entrees. They also offer a prix fixe menu when we were there but it didn't show up on their website as I'm writing this review (ask the friendly server). The service is very friendly, they're not in a hurry to turn tables and will time the courses according to how fast (or in my case, how slow) you get through them. Another big plus is they're BYO and you can bring your best Chianti along and not have to pay a premium to dine and wine. The setting is bistro style, not fancy at all, and there are a few outdoor tables in the tiny backyard for al fresco dining. 5 stars all round!
