Save for a few brilliant dishes that hint at just how much talent Michael Tusk has, the restaurant takes itself far too seriously for a comfortable night out and delivers too little to justify the excessive fuss. Even taking the snotty staff that envelops every spare inch of this tiny restaurant out of the equation, you are still left with a feeling that Quince could be a lot more if it didn’t let the foam of accolades go straight to it’s (proverbial) head.

Perhaps it's because I lived in Italy, or maybe the food was just off the nights I was there but the pastas I've heard others rave over were nothing to write home about. Also the first time I ate there, the service was just miserable, so bad in fact that my waitress was replaced mid meal.

The "caesarea" name derives from the fact that these mushrooms where one of Julis Caesar favorite dishes. When available, they are a staple in every Tuscan restaurant, to be eaten raw (as you did) or grilled.
