I had a great experience at this relatively new Italian spot at the Esplanade. It's a little tucked away but a neighbor to the Merc bar which has had some pretty good longevity. This is my neighborhood so I'm going to try everything and tonight was awesome. Greeted by the chef and a thorough explanation of the menu is always a good start. Since it's my first time here I have to try the classics. Arencini was piping hot and perfectly crusted. The sauce that came with was immaculately presented and delicious with bread. Of course the chicken parm; the best way to describe it? Homemade. Did not disappoint and I'll be back soon to try everything else. The ball and chain had the carbonara and I stole some of her pancetta. We took the tiramisu home and I'm writing this review as we are ploughing through it. Have to go she's eating my half.. well done Deici!
