We got the shrimp salad and gnocchi to go. Both were excellent and they were able to accommodate dairy free for both dishes. Portions are a bit small for the price but the quality makes up for it.
Great tasting food. Every dish was well balanced and really tasty. Gnocchi 5/5 - perfect consistency Gnocchi 👌. The sauce and creme fraiche was well a great pairing. Tagliatelle pork ragu 5/5 - the pasta tasted freshly made and the sauce was really good. Brussels sprouts with sausage 5/5 - sets the bar high for other roasted busses sprouts Croquettes 5/5 - great consistency again. The sauce pairing was squeegeed off the plate. So good.
We were delighted to sample a variety of handmade pastas, each offering its own unique flavor. Among them, the Baked Parmesan Cavatelli stood out as my personal favorite. While it was on the saltier side, the pasta was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. On the other hand, the Angel Hair pasta noodles were a disappointment. They were overcooked and became overly soft. The Mafaldine with the spicy vodka sauce, however, hit the spot. I must admit, I wasn’t a fan of the Gnocchi. It was delicious, but something felt amiss. The crab dip, which I had been hoping for a creamy dip version, turned out to be a salsa-style dip. Overall, the pastas were great.
Food was so good! Our server, Tino, was amazing and gave really great recommendations. Would 100% recommend.
Local eatery with an open and airy interior with shaded out door seating. Food was well executed. You can tell they put a lot of thought into the details. The gnocchi with shrimp was a standout. Friendly and informed staff made our experience truly wonderful. The salted caramel budino was super good and made by one of them! Even if you're full, order it, you won't regret it. We will be back soon. Before I forget: street parking only-get ready for a walk!
