Review of Polenteria

Sadly did not meet expectations. Growing up in the NY area, I went to a lot of great midrange Italian spots, and this is basically an effort at creating a gluten-free version. Nothing groundbreaking but twice the price. Unfortunately some of the dishes were not great—the sole smelled very fishy, and the next day I was pretty ill, making me think it wasn’t fresh. The best thing was the tiramisu, just cause I haven’t been able to have tiramisu in years! The place has weird reservation rules, and they actually unilaterally changed our reservation time to accommodate another party and sent several reminders that we were limited to 1.5 hours. Was so hoping this would be the GF Italian of my dreams, but alas, keep searching.
