    Unfortunately, we are a one and done for Semolina. Although the food and service were quite good- the overwhelming loudness and din did not make for a pleasant dining experience

    This was our second visit and it didn't disappoint. The spaghetti with capicola and crab meat is still to die for.

    Semolina is named after the ingredient in their homemade pastas, so in addition to the fresh farm to table ingredients, we were excited to try the pasta dishes. My squid ink pasta with rock shrimp was good, although a little overcooked. My husbands spinach gnocchi, however, did not seem like gnocchi at all. I know gnocchi well, have made them myself, and these were NOT gnocchi. They are supposed to have the consistency of light balls of dough (a mix of potato and flour or ricotta and flour), and made by hand. The dough is rolled into ropes, then cut into small pieces and indented by rolling with your thumb, like my grandma did, resulting in curved “boats” which hold the sauce, or else indented with a fork. Semolinas gnocchi were too thin, and seemed to have been machine made by running through a pasta press, as the striped indents were perfectly even. This is NOT a gnocchi! My other complaint is the sea bass crudo was literally swimming in a bowl of buttermilk. That much dairy does not go well with fish, and they should rethink this combo!

    We really enjoyed the freshness of our food. Products are locally farmed and prepared highlighting the individual ingredients.
