Gabrielle & the rest of the staff did an incredible job. The food was just amazing. Those pork dishes were out of this world. & the price was very reasonable for a restaurant of this level. In short, do not miss an amazing culinary experience.

Loved it. Service was incredible.

Did the tasting menu with wine pairings.

Standouts were the knish, smoked mackerel, pasta with mushroom ragu, & a ridiculous fois gras filled date.

Cocktails were excellent.

Can't wait to go back again.

The stuffed dates were amazing. So much flavour in one bite, but still very well balanced. The seafood salad feature was a pleasant surprise too. The rabbit was cooked perfectly. The ragu tagliatelle was really good, although the pasta could have used a little more salt. Both desserts were delicious as well.

The food was overall very good, & the service was generally quick & attentive. We were really enjoying our meal until we noticed that our rabbit stew was partially undercooked. There appeared to be blood on the bones, & one portion of the rabbit meat was clearly undercooked.

We mentioned this to a staff member who came by to wipe our table. He reassured us that someone would look into it. When our server returned, we explained the issue again, & she went to discuss it with the kitchen staff.

When she came back to our table, she did not apologize & seemed quite dismissive. She told us that the chef said it was normal to sometimes see blood on the bones. However, she did not address the undercooked portion of rabbit meat that my partner had left on his plate, nor did she appear interested in discussing the matter further.

We went on to order dessert, but we were disappointed by how the situation was handled. Given that it was a small restaurant with only a few tables, we did not choose to escalate the matter further & make other guests uncomfortable.

As a Michelin Guide-recommended restaurant, we had hoped for a higher standard of communication & customer care when an unexpected issue arose. While we enjoyed much of our meal, the response to our concern left us disappointed.

Came here on a Thursday night & was very happy we had made reservations because it got busy! The mackerel toasts definitely deserve the hype & were probably my favourite bite of the night. The service was excellent & we didn't feel rushed at all which was lovely since we were celebrating a birthday & wanted to eat almost everything on the menu. Leave room for dessert, the pistachio semifredo & the olive oil cake were amazing! Only two slight negatives regarding food was that the bread crumbs on the salad were a little rancid & the tuna was maybe a little too cured (almost like canned?). Will come back!

Excellent, accommodating & kind service. Food was PAS MAL- SUPERBE! I got the mackerel bagel & the tagliatelle pasta. Wow.
Nuanced flavors that were distinguished & fresh. Fish was fresh & pasta made in house. Every staff checked in on me at the bar where I sat. Made friends with guests. Non pretentious but the food tastes pretentious. Go go go. I found them on the Michelin guide website. Everyone said they're amazing. No lies were told.

Just got back from Beba, where we had a wonderful meal.

We ordered a la carte, we enjoyed every dish, but our favorites were the fresh pasta with porcini & the guanciale cotto.

Flavours are bold, execution is spot on, & I found the cuisine to be very generous. I'm not referring to the portion size (it was perfectly adequate), but rather in their use of premium ingredients.

Pistachio? Tons of them. Morels? Here's a few handfuls. Great tuna? Covers half the plate. I've rarely seen such a generous use of quality premium ingredients. If an ingredient is mentioned on the menu, don't worry, you'll find it in your plate.

Also, the desserts. Wow. We had the flan & the pistachio semifreddo. Both were great, but the semifreddo was absolutely amazing, perfectly balanced & light.

On the negative, the wine list is a bit underwhelming (but cocktais are good), & I found the red wine to be served too warm, should have been served 3-4° colder.

Will definitely come back.
