| - Situated in the Financial District, Badali's was suprisingly empty Friday evening. My parents and I were worried that we hadn't made reservations but it was not at all a problem. The interior of the restaurant has a classical style with warm tones - very welcoming.
I ordered the following from the $28 summerlicious dinner menu:
1 | Sundried Tomato, Mozzarella and Pesto Arancina (V)
A hand rolled, sundried tomato and nut free pesto mozzarella fritter, lemon mint aioli
2 | Pasta Di Pesce Spada
Tagliatelle pasta, flaked grilled swordfish, preserved lemon, pan fried house olives, anchovy oil, charred leeks
3 | Chocolate Delice Coconut Bar
Salted caramel
The appetizer tasted spectacular. It was small in size, but full of flavours. The rest of the meal, however, was quite heavy, and I couldn't finish the pasta or dessert. The pasta didn't look very appealing, but it tasted decent. The caramel in the dessert was much too sweet, but the bar was well made.
Service was great here. Our waters were refilled frequently, and the server was kind in offering recommendations. It was a good dinner experience overall.
