My husband and I were there on a Monday night, so the restaurant was quiet. Our server, a French snowboarder, was very attentive and other young lady who took our second drink order was as sweet and kind as he was. The food! I had hummus, risotto, duck, and ice cream and my husband had warm olives, kanpachi, steak, and olive oil cake - yum! I was most impressed with how the chef cooked kanpachi. I am Japanese and have had kanpachi before. Although I am usually skeptical about non-Japanese cooking kanpachi (sorry, not being discriminative, but had been disappointed before at other pricy restaurants), at Il Caminetto, it was perfectly done and exceeded my expectation beautifully! I imagined the dish would be like kanpachi carpaccio, but it was thicker sliced and prepared nicely that tasted like sashimi scallops. Loved the risotto. Medium rare rib eye was so flavourful (we shared and liked his beef more than my duck), and I wish there were one more scoop of vanilla ice cream and mango sorbet each! Thank you for the fantastic meal and the memorable interactions with those nice serving staff members. Amazing experience!
