Food was excellent, exceeded my already high expectations. The only downside is the tables were tiny and seating very squished/close together… I considered knocking a star for this but decided to keep it at 5 because of the food. Service was also very good. Plenty of vegetarian options. It is hard to mess up a classic pasta, but it’s such a basic food it’s also hard to get one that’s above and beyond and so memorable. Mine was. I got the mushroom agnolotti with black truffle added - it was spectacular! Very unique thanks to the strong lemon flavor. A relatively generous portion. And it went perfectly with the added truffle. The mushrooms were perfectly cooked, which is rare - usually I find them soggy or unpleasant, even at top notch restaurants. These were perfectly melt in the mouth, chewy but not overly so, not overly soggy or water filled either - and fully flavored from the inside out. The sauce was buttery without being too heavy. And the lemon kick was throughout - in the filling and the sauce, cutting through all the richness. Beautiful shavings of parmesan added on to the mushroom umami. The fava bean starter was also excellent though a little small. The dandelion greens are a bit chewy and bitter, but I liked it. Most importantly, it was doused in pecorino which made it so flavorful. I tasted my friend’s squash pasta and it was also excellent. The reviews said not to miss dessert, and they were right! The sticky toffee pudding was to die for, perfectly made. I also tried the terrine and even though I don’t like mousses, it was excellent - the bitter chocolate and flaky salt cut through the richness, and olive oil added an interesting flavor. My mocktail was great - Moscow mule with a zero proof herbal “liqueur” that added a very interesting undertone. The service was very good, and the waitress described the dishes very well. Water was also refilled promptly. The only thing is there was quite a wait between receiving the dessert menu and ordering dessert - we had to flag her down after waiting around 15min. Now to the main downside, and it’s quite a bit one. The seating was horrible. We were squeezed on a bench with not even 1 foot of space between the other two parties - their feet were under our table. The table was also TINY - seriously wasn’t big enough for our two plates of pasta and two drinks… if we had ordered any sides or a third dish to share there wouldn’t have been space. I had to think through where to place my fork and water glass so as to not knock anything over. This seating situation is so unpleasant that it might keep me from retuning quickly, and I do hope they rethink it because the food was really spectacular. It seemed to be mainly the 2 person tables like this, so I plan to only return with 3+ people. Overall, food was excellent but they really need to revamp their seating to be larger tables and more spaced out.
This place was an absolute delight! I visited for my birthday based on a friend's recommendation, and it exceeded all expectations. Our waiter, Richard, was exceptional—his detailed explanations of the menu and his soothing voice made the experience even more enjoyable. I was pleased to learn that all pastas can be made gluten-free for an additional $7, including the filled varieties. I opted for the gnocchi, while my partner chose the agnolotti with gluten-free pasta, mushrooms, and truffle. His dish was decadently earthy and delicious, while mine featured soft gnocchi in a tangy tomato sauce, beautifully enhanced by a drizzle of olive oil. We started with the tomato and strawberry appetizer, which was a fantastic combination of herbal, nutty, and creamy flavors. Dessert was equally impressive: we had both gluten-free options—a torta topped with chestnut sauce and a dense, fudgy chocolate cake adorned with nuts and a touch of fancy olive oil . Every aspect of the meal was flawless.
Pour notre groupe de 4, nous avons pris le menu dégustation à 4 service pour 45$. Nous avons été très satisfaits :) Les plats étaient bons, frais et très généreux. Voici un exemple de ce à quoi votre souper pourrait ressembler! Service 1: plateau de charcuterie et fromage + pain maison Service 2 : 4 entrés à partager (Maquereau, Arancini, salade de tomates, rapinis) Service 3: 3 plats de pâtes Service 4: 2 desserts (canolis, moelleux au toffee et crème glacée)
Désireux de faire une restauration non loin de notre logement, nous avons décidés de nous rendre à ce restaurant italien. Après avoir commandé une entrée chacun et au vue de la qualité, nous nous sommes laissés emportés par les saveurs et avons pris un plat et un dessert. Quel délice! Vraiment très bon. À recommander sans aucune hésitation.
