My date decided to take me to this middle eastern restaurant, as he had read good reviews. Only it's not very middle eastern; definitely much more Italian. Nothing wrong with that, just unexpected
I tried mussels for the first time. They were delicious. I have nothing to compare them with, but they were delightful. Obv I was a hot mess while consuming them... I only bring my best dining skills on dates!
We then had a pizza each; I, the Fungi Pecorino and he, the Marhgertia. His pizza was very cheesy. Mine, however, was average. I've definitely had better.
The place itself is pretty snazzy. It was super empty, likely because it was a long weekend. Otherwise it seems like a good date place in the neighbourhood. The servers were very nice and helpful but perhaps not all on the same page. Could have just been an off night?
I would consider returning to try other mains but I've had better pizzas. The mussels are worth a second visit for sure!
