Mozza Mia

Conveniently located across the street from the movie theater.  We wandered in, post-movie, mid-week.  It's a large open feeling space and there were only a few customers scattered about.  
We walked back to their bar area to see what wines they offered and saw that they served "Picos Tempranillo".  Recognizing the name, "Picos", we asked the bartender if it was, in fact, "Tres Picos".  He said, "yes".  So we each ordered a serving.  
Pours are generous (more like 2 standard servings) - they're first poured into a small carafe, and then from each small carafe, the 'tender poured a small amount into common "french-style" glasses.
Well, we have enjoyed more than one bottle of "Tres Picos" tempranillo, and the wine we were served was not it.  Maybe the wine would taste better alongside some food.  Perhaps, another time.

Seems like a nice place, so we went in after a movie tonight for a glass of wine,  Wine list is short, and kind of non-descript, so we asked the bartender if the tempranillo was  a brand that we had been very happy with - he told us it was, and it was not.  At least the wine was served in a fairly large quantity for a glass price (they decant it into little decanters).  If you want quantity of wine, this place is good - quality and knowledge is lacking.  I would suggest they educate their staff a little better

I've been wanting to go to this restaurant since it opened and now that I have, I don't think I need to return.  Don't get me wrong- the mozzarella that is made in house daily is delicious.  I went with 4 other people and we got the large tasting platter that serves 4-6.  It was a great way to taste all the amazing mozzarella made there!  

The rest of the experience was okay.  We went in the door that I thought was the front door on 50th Street.  It turns out that the host stand is on the back side of the restaurant that faces the small cobblestone sidewalk between the shops and the parking garage.  So we walked all the way to the back of the restaurant only to be stopped halfway by a hostess who turned us around and took us to our table.  

The portion sizes seemed off.  I shared a pizza with one of my friends and there were 8 good sizes pieces for us to share- 3 each (we probably could have each done with 2 each after trying all the cheese) and 2 to take home.  My sister got the gnocchi and it was really good but on a small plate.  My other two friends got the ravioli- they both got 3 huge ravioli which one friend was satisfied with and the other complained about.  It just seemed like the pizza was a lot more food.  When it came to dessert, most of us got the cobbler of the day and my sister got the tiramisu.  The cobbler came in a dish that I swear was the size of a small book- like 8 inches by 4 inches.  My sister's tiramisu was served in a shooter the size of a Dixie cup.  

The food was good and the service was good but nothing I would go back for unless I was specifically craving fresh mozzarella cheese.
