| - Food: 4.5/5
Atmosphere: 4/5
Service: 4/5
Food: Overall, all the dishes were great. Only slightly disappointed because they took their bone marrow off the menu.
Beef Tartare (forget the actual name on the menu Tartara something) - My favourite dish out of the four. The meat wasn't chewy and went great with the seasoned flat bread. If raw meat is your thing, definitely a must try!
Bigoli (Duck egg pasta) - Pasta was made al dente, which most people probably love. I actually prefer it a little softer. It's a very savoury dish. It just got a bit salty at the end because we might have not mixed it well enough. I would definitely order this again.
Scarpinocc (Lobster-filled tomato leaf pasta) - Al dente pasta filled with plenty of lobster! They definitely didn't skimp out! Great dish!
Soppressata (calabrese spiced sausage pizza) - Also very good, and had a little kick of spiciness to it, which I loved. Overall, it didn't stand out as much as the other dishes. If I go back, I would one of the many other pizzas they had.
Atmosphere:
The restaurant is hidden inside an alley way, next to Valdez. I only knew where it was because I wanted to go to bar buca once, but I found this place instead. I actually had to go into another restaurant to ask for directions to Buca. Only the entrance was above ground, but it was worth the search though!
We were seated inside their wine cave. It was a little dim for our liking but it was a very romantic atmosphere. There were tables by the bar and that area is better lit with natural light from outside.
Service:
Very patient and informative waitress because we had a lot of questions about the menu. The only thing is, at the end, it was hard to flag her down for the bill. I don't know if it is because we sat there for too long chatting and she just thought we wanted some privacy.
The food was relatively pricey, but I would say it's worth it to go try a few dishes with some friends.
