This is my first review, but after eating at Metro last night for my girlfriend's birthday, I felt I had at least give it a shot.
The food was great. So many choices for pasta and sauces. Plus other dishes like lasagna or meat dishes and so on. They start off by giving you a small strawberry daiquiri (is that the right word?) Then some bread with some green garlicy sauce on the house. We ordered some bruschetta for an appetizer. The flavor was amazing. Almost challenging my grandfathers back home.
We also ordered a cesar salad which was equally good. For the main meal we both ordered cheese tourillini. I had the napoli sauce, her, a cream based sauce that I really can't remember the name of cause there are about 500 sauces to choose from. Let me tell you, that i tried both, and I don't think i've tasted anything so good in my 2.5 years here in Beijing. And that is saying alot because I eat food every day. Really. 3 meals plus snacks.
The portions were just right and the pricing was a little expensive for what im used to. (im a teacher, give me a break)but worth every mao.
It wasn't too crowded so they were always waiting on you without being too intrusive. We ordered wine, but I realized I don't know the first thing about wine tasting, but the waiter assured me it was good (not that i can tell, but it was). After we were finished, I brought out small pieces of cake we got earlier and i put some candles in. Instead of being upset that we had outside food, they actually lit the candles for us, took a photo, and offered us coffee.
I don't want to make this too long, but if you want excellent italian food, need to take your date somewhere, and/or are looking for a relaxed/romantic time where you will be treated like a king/queen, Metro is the place for you.
