| - Great service, great menu. It was a bit loud, but that happens sometimes.
I had the cod antipasti, the linguini vongole as a primi, and the caciucco with squid ink frascatelli in an herb broth as a secundi.
The cod was delicious - very light and bright and flavorful, but underseasoned to my taste. Not only is this easily rectified, but as an American, my taste seems to run to a heavier hand with the salt than most Montrealers.
The linguini was excellent. I'd come back here for this dish alone. It was beautifully cooked and bursting with flavor.
The last dish was problematic for me. The broth was amazing. I would have liked more frascatelli than there was. The fennel bulb was cooked beautifully, as were the clams and the shrimp. However, the grilled octopus, which was the central protein didn't do it for me. I thought it was overcooked and overcharred, making it kindof useless on the plate. But because the rest of the dish was so wonderful, this ended up being a serious ding rather than a complete derailment.
