I opted to use paper menu's, i could have used paper napkins too. i wanted to give our guest the option on the bread, and a little bit smaller portion to keep the prices down. as for the wine glasses, anyone who has grandparents who are italian or travel to Italy will agree this is what the people use at their home, not all, but some. i was trying to have a little fun. I thought that might be a good idea to give people a choice and with the economy the way it is, keep the prices down. their are options for nicer wine glasses and menu's-try canoe or O steaks.
I am glad that you did enjoy the mussels and the salad, we have alot of new, interesting and great menu items.

Scott,
Thanks for the great new choice we have- I ate at TNE during bike week and saw you patrolling the restaurant. You obviously know how to have fun with food. I thought the food was great. I was riding, so no wine. I understand your point about the glasses- I really do (my old school Italian buddies make their own and that's how they drink it too), but I guess I am a wine glass snob and like a big cab glass! As far as the bread goes (another weakness of mine), I would love an option of buying a nice warm loaf of airy Italian bread. The knots are good, but a little heavy for me.
That being said, the food was great, as was the service. I wish you the best.
