| - We haven't been to this location since it was Gado Gado, which was 3 years ago already. Oops! We decided to stop by for appetizers and a couple drinks this weekend to see how it's doing.
The dining room was pretty slow, so I imagine you don't need a reservation. The patio looked busier and is a really nice space, weather allowing. We opted for the bar and were the only patrons on a Saturday night. The bartender was very attentive and friendly and quick with a recommendation! On Saturday nights they have $1 off their beer list (not a great selection, just bottles).
He recommended the Arancini (I think that was the name) balls - basically hand rolled risotto and cheese balls, flash fried. These were delicious! There were 5 in the order and served with marinara. Really, if you go, get these, so good.
We also tried the calamari, and again, I was impressed (well, not impressed with myself when I realized I was eating a fried double header, oops again). The calamari was fresh, not chewy, and there were also zucchini chips in the dish. Both appetizers were really good and made from scratch.
I left feeling like I needed to eat a bowl of lettuce, but that was totally my fault! I'd love to go again for a full dinner - but in the meantime it's going to be on the short list for higher end appetizers!
