The menu at Parigi changes weekly. Typically it is pretty small, but entree offerings will usually include at least one dish of each of the following: risotto, pasta, fish, pizza, chicken, and pork. Basically, a little something for everyone. The one mainstay on the menu, however, is beef tenderloin (about $30). The last time I ordered it, it was served with the most awesome mashed potatoes I've ever had. As good as the tenderloin was, I think I may have enjoyed the mashed potatoes more. I'm still not sure how that's possible.... Entrees on the dinner menu are usually in the $18-$30 range, and they max out on the lunch menu at about $14.

They also have a few tasty appetizers. We've enjoyed the carpaccio and the assorted cheese board.

Parigi has a good wine list, or you can bring your own bottle. On our last visit, though, the corkage fee had been upped to a rather steep $15, so you probably won't want to bring something you picked up at the grocery store.

The service at Parigi has been first rate every time I've dined here. On one visit the server misunderstood what I'd ordered. Even though he insisted it would be fine to send the entree back to the kitchen, I went ahead and ate what he'd brought out. Later he brought a complementary dessert to our table. A nice touch.

The dining room is quite small, and doesn't seem to create that deafening "dining room roar" that my girlfriend and I can't stand. Parigi draws a diverse, eclectic crowd, and the dining room usually stays busy later than most other fine dining establishments in town. We strongly suggest calling ahead for a reservation. Parigi accepts all the major credit cards. They also serve brunch on Sundays. Their hours are:

Mon-Fri 11:30am- 2:30pm
Mon-Thu 6:30pm-10:30pm
Fri-Sat 6:30pm-11:00pm
Sun 10:30am- 3:00pm
