Food was exquisite. Service was polite but perfunctory and rushed. We had the tasting menu and the courses arrived back to back without pause, and the check was delivered only a minute after the last course arrived, with no chance to order coffee or a digestif. I don’t know if this is standard or if there was a staffing issue. We didn’t have a dedicated server checking on us, but instead about half a dozen staff members delivering the food and bill. It was a lovely meal for our anniversary, but we felt rushed and a bit unwelcome.

We did the tasting menu. Every course was more spectacular than the last. Done to perfection. I would only suggest that the menu inform you if there is a hot spice used in a dish. We were (not pleasantly) surprised by one dish that was quite hot. Nonetheless I will come back again and definitely recommend to my friends.

I had heard mixed reviews for Flower + Water, but I was pleasantly surprised. I expected delicious pasta, of course, but the appetizers were the real stars. The veal carpaccio was a delight and I would order it again in a second. My partner and I shared the salumi board which was an exciting flavor adventure - the roman mustard and seasonal pickles brought everything together nicely. We split the aleppo garganelle and tagliatelle with veal bolognese. Both were very tasty, though the tagliatelle was a bit too rich for my taste. Portions were nicely sized and great for sharing. We ordered an obligatory birthday dessert and I'm so glad that we did. The panna cotta with berries and hibiscus was so refreshing; a great end to a great meal!

Met by unsmiling absolutely-non-engaging blonde hostess. She dug through the menus, never looking at us, walked away without a word to a table and dropped menus and left. Really set the evening off with a bad feeling. As I faced the reception desk, I could see this was her pattern. Either she was having a very bad night, or this is always her manner. She was certainly not the person to be a hostess! The restaurant is very popular because of their reputation for wonderful pasta, but, I think that type of reception is not what they want.

The food was amazing. We ordered 4 pasta dishes and 2 pizzas for 5 people. It was all so delicious and we stuffed ourselves. I think we over ordered but just couldn’t stop eating! The waiter was friendly and we never felt rushed. The only thing I didn’t like was - we told them we were celebrating two birthdays and is one of the rare restaurants that doesn’t throw in a free dessert or ice cream or something ...hence I took away the stars for service.
