What a treat! Been wanting to come to this restaurant for a while. Based on it’s out of country proximity I honestly didn’t think I would be able to try it; had forgotten about this place for a bit until I watched Anthony Bourdain’s The Layover – London. The chance to eat here came up by happenstance as my cousin and I were waiting for Chrisine to finish shopping and decided it would be a solid time to figure out what to do for dinner. Called St. John Hotel and was able to snag a last minute dinner reservation! Was SO happy!!
But the food, as expected, was great and the overall experience was wonderful; thanks to our server Michael for being SO entertaining and helpful when making our selections. Typically I would give highlights but everything was extremely delicious. Especially the Custard Tart. Wonderful that the best of the meal marked the end of the meal. Smoothest custard I’ve ever had; very unexpected.
I really want to go back and do the Feasting option; it’s for larger groups who wishes to order a whole suckling pig. It looked like there were a few other things that one would get for the feasting option, but the pig is all I can think about. 🙂  I’m drooling just thinking about it.

Fedelini with tiny clams, cherry tomatoes, parsley and lemon
Found out about this great place by means of a service known as Chefs Feed. I’ve been using this program on my phone to help find good places to eat. They currently have the larger cities within United States and are looking to spread out to other cities.
But the dish displayed was composed of perfectly cooked noodles, a simple yet wonderfully delicious tomato sauce, and some amazingly fresh & sweet clams. I will definitely be back for more. Located at the corner of Park Plaza and Arlington St, this restaurant describes itself as “regional cuisine of Piedmont, Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna.” The hostess, waitress, and management were friendly; attentive and was able to eat and leave under an hour. A great place to grab lunch!
