Cafe Sistina

This is a more modern Italian restaurant. Located on King street on the left side, a little past tsunamis. It has a lot of tables. Prices are about $17. The have mostly wine. The food is on the creamy side as well. They carry an assortment of appetizers, a few different salads, and a lot of different pastas.

When I went here with my boyfriend we got a few different things. They automatically give you bread with garlic butter after you order your meal. Did not try any salads. We got the escargot. It was not traditional in anyway. Which is why I was disappointed. It was served in a extremely rich red sauce over polenta. It was also over cooked. Do not recommend getting this. I got the Pollo Limone as my meal. It was mushrooms, chicken, and capers served over Linguine in a white wine sauce. It was very delicious and not too heavy. My boyfriend got the Pollo Checca. Which is chicken, tomato, and basil over Penne in a garlic sauce. It was good, on the creamy side. The portions were big. We did not get dessert but got some wine. I enjoyed the red wine that we choose.

This place is good. The portions are big, prices are decent, and the wine is delicious. But, if you go here I do not recommend getting the escargot.
