I've got other tables waiting. At this price, I'm slightly skeptical about the freshness of the truffles, though it could well be a very small portion. The pasta we receive is a mix of spaghetti and linguine different weights and shapes take different cooking times, which probably explains why the noodles are clumped together in sticky wads. The portion is plentiful, yet relatively tasteless, especially given the copious chunks of oily, pureed truffle in which the dish drowns.

If these are fresh truffles not the inferior, jarred variety , I'll eat a wild boar's snout for breakfast. The meat is a creamy pink colour, indicating that it probably does come from a milk-fed calf though the texture certainly isn't velvety enough to be of the highest quality. The breadcrumb batter is chunky and greasy. The vegetables only add insult to injury. The chop is laid over a starchy mound of lumpy turnip and mushy pickled purple sauerkraut.
Roast potatoes are cold and hard; baked wedges of whitish tomato and bland golden beet are so overcooked they look mashed. While the waiter is kind enough to bring us a complimentary half-portion of the daily pasta special, I'm certainly glad I didn't pay for a full portion of this gummy gnocchi in a ragu sauce beefed up with veal, steak and more chewy gristle.
