    My wife and I visited Ristorante for the first time in years - and had a splendid time. The food was terrific - particularly the Artic Char Pasta w/Capers (although a bit rich) and of course their signature Duck Ragu Pasta. They were kind enough to highlight both of our birthdays too. You can never go wrong at Ristornate Bartolotta :)
