The food was good but not outstanding.  We had the beef tagliatelle.  It was flavorful but I thought the meat was a little tough. I love arugula but there was so much filling the plate that it became boring.   The salad and spaghetti and meatballs were fine. The wine was a bit overpriced but tasty and a pretty good pour. The atmosphere was lively but not exactly comfortable.   I guess I have been comparing all restaurants to my favorite in london...good food a little pricey but I always leave wanting to lick the plate and the atmosphere there is just the right mix of comfy and cool that I am almost more happy to go by myself...I want that experience all the time!!!... The service at otto was  good just a tiny bit off from excellent. Thank you rocco!
