| - I went in perhaps a month ago with a friend. From the moment we stepped in, the server's exaggerated ebullience was in our face. Fine, he's really into his job, ok.
I had a glass of wine and my friend a bottled beer. We started with the Arancini, which are risotto balls filled with Fontina and served with their Sugo sauce. Interesting idea that got me intrigued right away. The positive is that they weren't oily, the negative is that they were bland and we needed more Sugo sauce to spice it up.
I then had the Matriciana, which is gnocchi with piccante sausage in their Sugo* sauce. I found the gnocchi quite mushy, there was barely any sausage and it needed more sauce or maybe I should've added more parmesan. Lots more. Mediocre plate overall.
But I shouldn't complain because my friend had the Sugo* con polpette, which is their spaghettini with handmade meatballs in their, once again, Sugo* sauce and it was so bland. The sauce was nothing different from what you can get out of a jar and we were hoping for something different in their handmade meatballs, but they were just... bland. It really became a chore to finish.
We hoped to finish it off on a high note with a classic dessert, the tiramisu, but that was even more disappointing. There was no distinct flavor of espresso, the chocolate glaze added this weird taste of sweetness and it was rather dry.
Wouldn't go back... pretentious service with no value in the price.
