The Antipasto of Burrata with tomato & Prosciuto with Parmesan was truly a wow moment as it was gently placed across the center of the table as if was the most important gift of the century.

We were 4 &
Our eyes were fixed
Who would-dig into it first

It takes service staff with experience to know that at the table there are project partners & the best step is a centre piece .

Everything that followed was very good too especially the service that showed up when needed & faded to give us talk room

The wine suggested was a delicious Nebbiolo at $80 a bottle. It was so good we had to have another one & it was us that asked the waiter to open the second .

I found out later that in their tiny wine cellar there is a collection of rarer Barolo Brunello & Amarone … just in case

The dessert that shined for me was the ricotta cake with a slight nut taste
Liked it as much as tiramisu
& we all skipped espresso
Off we went because the day after
We flew back home

If there is a detail to remember
For my next visit is
' Do you still have the Burrata Antipasto with all the things that make it shine ?'

If the answer is yes I would order one just for me even if I was alone & that would be my forever meal with a glass or two of red
& I would take my time
No rush
& even drink a 3rd glass
& ask for the shuttle driver to drive me back to the hotel nearby

If I was in company I would begin that way & decide the rest after step 1

Not a bad idea

No restaurant on earth is flawless
The drive behind the service
It is the life force

Is there someone overseeing details
All three

I suggest you reserve
& lock in your burrata antipasto as soon as you sit down & turn off the phones

That's the way

Franchement, même si c'est une belle salle & que le service est adorable, on est dans le bas de gamme dans l'assiette avec des produits low cost. Si vous pouvez manger ailleurs, n'hésitez pas...

3 dirty forks before we got a clean one.

Ordered shrimp cocktail, half of the shrimp still had the veins in them.

The washroom is down some very steep stairs, in a basement with water on the floor from leaks?

We ended up stranded at the Sheraton airport hotel & this place came up within walking distance. If we are ever in the city again, I would go out of my way to eat here. The food was so good. We had a variety of pizza & pasta dishes & everyone was happy. The atmosphere is great & the service is even better.

I really don't understand how this place has the reviews. We came based on convenient location to our hotel but the food was so bland! The lasagna had no flavor & the bread was clearly mass produced frozen dinner rolls. If you need an easy meal, go for it, but don't expect any sort of amazing experience.
