Barbara was delicious, went on a date with my girlfriend & it was a nice vibe. We we're right in front of the window with it open so the breeze was nice. We had gotten the focaccia with honey & ricotta with the cacio pepe, the calamari & the ragu pasta. Tasted all amazing & was so full I was ready to fall asleep. Definitely a place I go at least once every 2 months especially during the summer time
Really really good pasta, & loved their Cesar salad too.
The service & the atmosphere itself is really pleasant, definitely would recommend 🫶🏼 Will for sure be back!
Been here a couple of times, love sitting out on the patio on a hot day especially. Pasta is fresh & tasty. The focaccia bread with ricotta & honey just melts in your mouth with freshness. Just always a nice vibe & i love that it's local, when i want to have some me on a patio nearby instead of going downtown.
Came recently for dinner with a friend, we split it their Caesar salad which was excellent & also each had a plate of pasta, both were delicious. My friend really enjoyed their Italian soda, & I had an iced coffee. Only giving a low rating for atmosphere because it was unbelievably loud on this occasion - I think it is usually quieter in the morning. Have been here many times over the years (also for breakfast) & find their price-quality is very good. Strongly recommend the pastries in the morning. Their coffee is also very good.
Great terrace & nice outdoor space to have cocktails while waiting for a table. Very friendly service, but not overwhelming. Nice cocktails & wine selection. We had a crisp vinho verde. My cousin & I shared four plates: homemade foccacia with whipped ricotta, honey & exquisite olive oil (the star of our dinner!), crispy calamari with bomba mayo, rappini with hot pepper, garlic & parmigiano, & pasta with tomato cream sauce, fresh basil & stracciatella. Everything was simply perfect & we were very satisfied.
Everything was excellent! The focaccia of the day, cacio pepe pasta, burrata & oysters were all phenomenal. The carpaccio could have used some more flavour but was still delicious. The stand out was the focaccia of the day for sure, so incredibly fluffy & tasty. The restaurant was very loud, so it was hard at times to hear each other but overall it was lovely. Service was great!
They don't take reservations but made everyone wait 2 hours. Everyone in the restaurant was cluttered together, & very loud. Pasta was very al dente. Focaccia & wine were great though
