We originally wanted to go to Desserts Plus for lunch, but it was way too busy. We looked up some other Italian options nearby and found Zafferano.
It was pretty quiet for a Sunday and it took a while for someone to even come and seat us in the restaurant. The service was really slow our entire experience.
The food was a little on the expensive side compared to Desserts Plus.
Fried Stuffed Gnocchi
This was a really fun shareable dish! The gnocchi were slightly crispy on the outside and came with a nice spicy mayo. I didn't really see any spinach in the gnocchi, but I got the cheese.
Rigatoni Peperonata
The rigatoni was nice and the pesto cream sauce was good. However, this dish felt really heavy (maybe too much cream). It didn't seem like there was a lot of grilled chicken - but it was kind of shredded in the dish rather than cut into strips.
Rigatoni Peperonata and Pappardelle Zafferano
I loved these wide pappardelle noodles! They were so different and they were great at absorbing the sauce! The cognac and saffron rose sauce was really nice too. I probably could have done without the diced tomatoes and the oyster mushrooms (personal preference only), but I liked it with the shrimp.
Overall: The pasta dishes here were tasty, but the service was not very good.
