| - Summary - if you like Virtu, you will like this place.
Came here for dinner on a Sunday night. Made a 6pm reservation, but it wasn't really necessary as restaurant was only half full. I have been to Virtu a half dozen times, so I was expecting a similar level of quality and was not disappointed.
Food:
Virtu octopus : I can report that it's just as flawless as at Virtu. Bitter arugula, flavorful chickpeas, perfectly charred octopus, and some good spice. This is a must-order, whether you like octopus or not. A+
Grilled mixed vegetables: Admittedly, this was more of my wife's choice than mine. That said, all the vegetables were prepared and seasoned perfectly. I believe there was eggplant, zucchini, squash, and a few others. There was a weird pickled something in there that we didn't care for, but other than that it was very solid. A
Pesto Spaghetti with Chicken: I added chicken to this dish, which was a solid choice. Basil pesto was fresh and light. Homemade spaghetti had great texture. Chicken was shredded and was easy to eat. A
I ordered a bourbon drink that was pretty good as well, but wasn't anything insanely stellar. Overall, service was pretty good and food was great. This is a very solid addition to downtown Gilbert. I will surely be back.
