Appetito (Italian Cuisine), 761 Beacon St Newton, MA

I enjoyed my meal here.  The service was slow once the dining area filled up (we sat at the bar)...they seemed to severely understaffed.

The specials were so numerous I simply couldn't keep track and ordered from the menu instead.  I suggest if they continue to have so many 'specials' they print a 'Special's Menu".

I started with the Sashimi over a bed of greens.  It was pretty good, but it seems it sat around a bit prior to bringing it to me since the wasabi drizzle over the tuna appeared dried on!  The salad was fresh.  The tobiko was barely detectable (and I LOVE tobiko)...

I thought the bread could have been toasted a bit more; the hummus was pretty good.

My pasta dish was really good (Pollo Salcicca).  My friend had the Capellini which was good as well.
The gentleman next to me had the cod special which looked fantastic, though the bowl of pasta it came with looked pretty undesirable.

I would go back to sample other dishes.
