| - As many have said, much better than any mall restaurant has a right to be - but not without its flaws.
We tried: the arancini; the raviolo friti; the charcuterie plate; the pork chop; the pizza fioerentina; sage and braised prosciutto pasta; the burger.
The food was essentially good, but not great.
The pizza was excellent, with a great crust and the toppings of anchovies, lemon ricotta, rapini and eggs were a nice combination. Dip the crust in the egg yolks! Inexplicably, though, the pizza came to the table uncut and proved almost impossible to cut with the knife provided.
The pork chop was tender and flavourful, but the accompaniments were a little lifeless.
The burger was bland and dry.
The arancini were delicious, but the ravioloi fritti were a little bland. The cured meat plate isn't worth it at all. It's not bad ad $11, but you can get far better elsewhere.
From 3-5pm, you can get a pint of Peronni or a glass of house wine for $5 which is a great deal and a great way to burn away an afternoon if you're taking transit rather than driving!
Three stars because of inconsistent quality between differing menu items, but worth a visit, especially after a day of trudging through a mall.
