| - For our starter, we had the "Cavolo Nero" salad (organic lacinato kale, zante currants, toasted pine nuts, pecorino, parmigiano, lemon vinaigrette). It was very tasty. The tang from the lemon dressing, sweet from the currants, saltiness from the pecorino cheese and richness from the pine nuts were very enjoyable together. Plus you always feel healthy when you eat kale!
For our main, we had the "Ravioli alla Norma" (spinach and ricotta ravioli, eggplant, tomato sauce, ricotta, salata, basil). The pasta was properly cooked and the dish was well prepared. Overall, it was tasty but I wasn't blown away mainly because the flavours were mild. Problem solved when I added some house chilli oil. Tip: try the house chilli oil. It's got quite a kick and is very nice.
For dessert, we shared the Olive Oil Cake
(olive oil cake, vanilla yogurt, citrus) for its novelty and I really liked it. The cake had a cheesecake-like texture (dense but soft) and wasn't too sweet. The fruit was tart and offset the cake nicely.
We will be back!
