I was surprisingly very content with my visit here. I never really venture to many Italian restaurants because it's either poor-woman life Pizza Pizza or lavish-spending life Scaddabush (or such equivalents). This was my first time at a crossover mid-tier "order at the cashier and seat yourself but food is still served in ceramic dishware"-type restaurant.
I came with a friend on a Saturday so we shared the weekend brunch Salmon Eggs Benedict as well as an order of Calamari. Both were delicious!!! The hollandaise sauce was so creamy and perfectly complemented by the little twig of dill, and I really enjoyed that the muffins were paired with a light arugula salad and baked baby potatoes that were well seasoned. The calamari dish was probably one of the better ones I've had. The rings were large, tender, and very fresh. I don't usually like capers but I couldn't really taste it in the sauce because it was infused with a mixture of other flavours that were more overpowering and delicious. Note: there was also a drizzle of a slightly spicy sauce, one that to me resembles Japanese spicy sushi sauce, but it was just a light kick and totally acceptable by my spice tolerance.
The atmosphere was very modern, the tables were clean, the interior was well-lit by the enormous floor to ceiling windows, and overall, the meal was well worth its price! I would come back again!
