Steak was 50 bucks, but it might be the best steak I have had outside of Italy.

Watch the appetizers and desserts, very pricey but very good.

Overall, the place is REALLY good, but two scallop appetizers were 28 bucks each!!!!!

GO CARDS!!!

did I mention dry aged rulez!!!!!!!

Get the butterscotch panna cotta. Did I mention the dry aged steak? The crust on the thing makes me "excited" just thinking about it.

Holy CRAP!!! I am not a desert guy at all... much prefer to load up on appetizers and the main course... HOWEVER, I am Italian after all and Panna Cotta is my weakness!!!! Butterscotch???? Good Lord... can anything be any better? I think not!!!

Mario Freaken rules!!!!!!! I have eaten at several other of his places, along with his Dad's deli up in Seattle (Salumi). Incredible eating experiences!!! If you are a foodie like me, you can never go wrong with Mario!!!

My wife is Italian and she loved the panna cotta even more than I did. I have been to a Batali place in Manhattan. Totally agree.

Hannah Storm at espn.com calls it a "fierce" Cardinals defense when discussing Romo injury, sacks, and hits "all day".

We are inexperienced in the secondary so it's hard to get a feel for how they're going to turn-out. What does jump out at you is (12) TD's given up thru the air! Yeah, I know (6) in (1) game BUT still... So, IF I'm an Offensive co-ordinator and I'm game-planning I'm thinking PASS. But it was GREAT yesterday to see an AGGRESSIVE Defense!! The soft-zone is just that, "SOFT"!! IT DOES NOTHING!! WHY?? Because a Defensive player is aggressive by nature and wants to hit somebody so you take that away and say "play this area". C'mon?? Look at Johnsons' Eagles. Look at da' Bears. Look at the Giants D (Way ta' go BROWNS!) ALL are AGGRESSIVE! I think over-all our D played GREAT yesterday so let them stay in attack-mode. (20) HITS on Romo?? Are you kiddin' me?? WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EXCELLENT points, Mitch... (...And guys)
