Definitely did not disappoint. The food was delicious, the service by Elliot was great & the ambience was awesome. We had the meatballs, the cesare salad & the zazzone pasta . Can't wait to go back ❤?❤?❤?
Je n'ai pas apprécier cette expérience. Au début tout était correct jusqu'à ce qu'on nous assigne une serveuse pas super respectueuse. Elle s'appelle Vee. J'étais avec mon copain & elle nous servait, la main sur la chaise à mon copain, elle ce penchait vers lui & tout. Quand je commandais certaine affaire, elle me passait des regards assez déplacer, & surtout m'adresser la parole bêtement. Cela étais répétitif, à plusieurs table, & cela au homme (en couple). À un point, où un des couples assient proche de nous ont décider de partir avant même avoir commander. Je trouve ce service assez ordinaire & inacceptable. Tout le monde, homme ou femme, couple ou pas, devraient avoir le même service. Sinon appart cela, la nourriture & l'ambiance était correcte.
We were seated at the bar, & while I don't usually love that, there was ample room & it was good bar stools. The bartenders were super friendly & provided excellent service.
Now, most importantly, the food somehow lived up to the hype. 10/10 experience
Fries - mid. Felt even under-salted. Crispy; I liked the shape, but the bowl came barely filled because the sauce cups took up so much room. There were a lot of scraps (half curlies, even 1/3rd curlies). -5
Meat sauce - boring, like just simple meat sauce.
Béchamel - good, okay sauce felt kind of like a mushroom saice.
The concept seems fun, but the flavours felt a little flat.
Caesar - good, very anchovy-forward!! -7.7
Perfect amount of parmesan - I liked it. If you don't like anchovies, you might not enjoy it (there were also some stray anchovies in the bowl). Some pieces were so saucy, I enjoyed that. Lettuce was fresh & good, but no croutons (she said she'd give us non-bacon ones, but we didn't get them) - still enjoyed it. Definitely an acquired taste.
Mushroom - noodle al dente a bit; I liked the noodle shape. It was good. While I love mushrooms, it felt almost like too many. Good, but Amerigo mushroom pasta is even better (though this was the best of the bunch). 7
Tomato - interesting spice. There was something a little weird in the sauce, like an unrecognizable, earthy flavour. I liked the shape, but it was solid average - nothing outstanding, literally just a tomato sauce with cheese. -5
Vodka - disappointing . Spice overpowering; doesn't taste like vodka sauce at all. Besides spice, it has no flavour whatsoever. Homemade is honestly better. -4
Service - good. They filled our water often. Our waitress was nice. Good romantic ambiance, dark, so if you're someone who pulls out a flashlight in dark restaurants, beware your flashlight will be out. Cute vibe - it's Italian, homey( with the tablecloths), but with a more fancy vibe.
All in all, everyone I went with, myself included, rated it between 5-6. for the total restaurant experience food wise.
It's a try-once-&-go-back-to-your-comfort-spot kind of place. Definitely overrated, & I wouldn't go back, just a place you try because everyone is posting on TikTok.
I truly enjoyed my experience at this establishment. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was delightful, & the staff members were exceptionally friendly. Every item we ordered was delicious, & the service was impeccable.
