Ziggy, Thanks!
Even if I had the money (and wasnāt on a low-salt diet now), I donāt think Iād be capable of eating at Ai Fiori more than once in a day, and I probably wouldnāt want to eat there more than at most once a week. When Iāve gone there, Iāve had full-course meals, and that takes a lot of stomach space.
To all: After much debate, and initially thinking I would burn through my $250 open table gift certificate in one meal at Marea, Iāve had a change of plans. Apparently on Mondays after 9, the pastas at Osteria Morini are only 10 dollars?!?!?! As a poor grad student, this is literally the answer to my prayers! And thus I shall have many fine meals there.
Has anybody taken advantage of this deal? Does the quality drop at all?
Thank you all for the suggestions.

Sounds like a nice piece!
Do about 10-15 meals/ pasta dishes there and write them up! 
Havenāt tried the deal, but you should also consider Osteria Morini for weekday lunch where they have a $29 Pasta Flight, where you get a choice of any three pastas of your choice.
As to the pastas, Iām a big fan of the rabbit ravioli, even though I generally do not like cheese or butter, and especially both together. But for this, I make an exception. Still a rich dish, so I make sure to treat it as an app and share it with someone else.
Yes! And they also have wine deals, though I forget the details. I hope they still have this deal when my blood pressure goes down furtherā¦
