Same owner, different name? New owner/new menu? What’s the connection between Piccolo Forno and Regina? I see they’ve taken over Regina’s former Lawrenceville spot. Same owner, different name?

The last time we went we got a warm goat cheese salad that ended up being stale greens, stale toast, and cold cheese that tasted like paste. But, looking at their menu online, I see this Tofu Exotique Seared Tofu Steak with Mild Red Curry Sauce with Coconut Milk, Enoki Mushroom, Sugar Snap Peas & Cilantro Served over Jasmine Rice with Roasted Peanuts $20.00 So I think the place can be rejected out of hand.

The last time I bothered to go, it was absolutely average, but with the added bonus that they made me feel guilty for being there. I have heard it's under new management but I'm not willing to risk it again. Perhaps you can take a hit for the team, and report back? Laura,

Colossally pretentious. Like I said, it's not a negative for me. :) And before I forget it, a thought that — yes — I *did* have long before I read today’s articles:

I've been considering trying it, but now, perhaps, I will not. It is terribly convenient of you to have listed Le Pommier. I’ve been considering trying it, but now, perhaps, I will not.
