My husband, mother (85), daughter and I had a unique experience at La Cantina Toscana last week. My husband wanted to try a new dish (pasta with shrimp and asparagus) and I ordered a pasta with porcini mushrooms. When we received our meals, I received the wrong entree but kept as I didn't want to delay our meal. Finding the taste of the asparagus overpowering in his dish, my husband requested some cheese for his pasta. Not only was the request ignored by the owner but when reissued, we were told that he would never serve cheese with this dish - he was being true to ""his origins"". There were only two others in the restaurant - while other establishments in the neighborhood were standing room only. After this experience, we understood why so few were in the restaurant. It's amazing there were any!
