Reviews
As an appetizer, we tried the fried calamari. From the moment they brought it to the table and I smelled it, I knew it was going to taste good. And I was right. The calamari was big and delicious. It’s the best and freshest calamari I’ve had. To eat, I tried the Risotto Dolce Vita and it was phenomenal. The shrimp that it came with were big and tasty. All the flavors from the dish combined very well together making this dish the best risotto I’ve tried. When it was time for dessert, the staff sang happy birthday to my friend as they brought a chocolava. They wrote happy birthday on the plate, which I thought it was nice detail. The chocolate cake was warm and moist and it paired very well with the vanilla ice cream.
I absolutely loved my experience here and I plan to return.
I was skeptical about this place after reading about other people’s reviews; I thought it would be a let down. Also the pictures of the food didn’t look good either. To my surprise the food tasted delicious. The pasta and sauce were cooked perfectly – not too salty, balanced and very flavoursome.
I’ll def be back to try other dishes!
I was craving a classic carbonara, even though it wasn’t on the menu, and without hesitation they offered to make it for me. That alone speaks volumes. And let me tell you… it was phenomenal. Rich, perfectly balanced, authentic, and made with so much care easily one of the best carbonaras I’ve ever had.
Every single server was exquisite: attentive without hovering, knowledgeable, kind, and truly passionate about what they do. You can feel the pride they take in both the food and the experience they create for their guests.
This wasn’t just a meal it was hospitality at its finest. I’ll be thinking about this place for a long time and can’t wait to return. Highly, highly recommend.
That said, if you enjoy waiting 1:30 hrs for food, then this is your place. We were the first table to be seated for dinner, yet it took way to long. By the time food came, we were very hungry and the portions aren’t that big.
We started our dinner with a lentil and legumes soup.
Following that I’ve ordered the ravioli ossobuco in which the traditional pasta shape in filled with a very tender braised ossobuco meat coated in a rich sauce and topped with sauted shrimp. Simply delicious!
My companions ordered the veal Marsala which had a very fragrant and tasty Marsala sauce and the Red snapper paired with veggies which was very tender and also wonderful. The portions were very generous.
Our wine choices were Treviso Prosecco and Costa de Bussia Barolo and just made the dinner even more pleasurable.
We topped our dinner with a strawberry zabaioni.
The staff’s service was excellent, courteous, knowledgeable and very friendly and we really give kudos to the management and its team for providing us with an unforgettable dining experience! Highly recommended!
