Pazzaluna (St. Paul) - Good but overrated

Another review from the Arctic Tundra of St. Paul. This place was hyped heavily from "The St. Paul" hotel staff to the locals. It's a fancy place with a funky pasta menu and an incredible bar. The staff was attentive but it suffered on the quality of the food. Suddenly, I am feeling like Anton Ego from Ratatouille. We ordered bruschetta -- peach, tomato, mushroom. Funky but not so tasty. I also mistakenly ordered a martini with walnut liquer, not so good. The entrees were good but not great. I had an angel hair pasta with shrimp. Maybe it was the martini that zapped by taste buds but it just was ordinary and not up to the hype around this restaurant. The coffee came out tepid and the tiramisu was lacking. All in all, not a bad experience but come on St. Paul, we need a mac-daddy restaurant.
