I'm a big fan of Lidia, but....  I watch her shows and have a cook book, which I adore.  But I was somewhat disappointed with my dinner there.  It was a on a Wednesday night, but there shouldn't be an excuse for a meal this expensive.\n\nFirst dish was grilled octopus, which was great.  I thought it needed more seasoning on the meat, but the accompanying salad was perfectly dressed.\n\nMy gnocchi I felt wasn't fresh, however the rabbit ragu was really nice.  Again, though, it needed more seasoning.  I actually wondered if they were catering to an old Pittsburgh clientele who may not put salt on their food.\n\nMy dinner partner had calimari and shrimp over pasta, and it was too al dente.
