| - This place didn't do it for me. Yes, the staff are very knowledgeable and passionate about the food, but I wasn't really impressed by the food.
The Bigoli (duck egg pasta with duck ragu) was the biggest joke. At $21, you get what looks like three bites of pasta.
The Sanguinaccio (pork blood brownie), $12, was interesting, but it was a little gross to eat; not because it was blood, but because it tasted like blood. It was fun though because they lit it on fire.
The Cervello (lamb brain wrapped in bacon), $9, was probably my favourite thing next to the pizza, but I'm discounting the pizza because pizza is so ordinary. The brain texture was really mushy and off-putting, but the bacon definitely saved it.
And finally, the proscuitto pizza ($24) tasted perfectly fine. As pizza is kind of easy to make and ordinary, my only complaint is that it is about 100% overpriced.
In general, this place was too expensive for the taste. I didn't find anything spectacular and I feel like the use of unconventional ingredients (lamb brain, pork blood) for excitement is a cop-out; other types of cuisines use them on a daily basis for better tasting dishes at a fraction of the price.
