Went to this restaurant at recommendation from an Italian co worker. I'm really happy I was introduced to this place. I haven't had such delicious Italian food in a long time. It's better than a lot of establishments downtown.
The table bread was really fresh.
We ordered:
-grilled calamari for app. The portion size was big and came with a side of salad. Great for sharing. Really fresh and nicely done. 12$
-seafood risotto was piled high with fresh shrimp, clams, mussels and a full size lobster half with the claws. (the real deal!)
Risotto was cooked to al dente. Delicious!
For 24$ that's a great deal.
-papradelle pasta with shrimp and oyster mushroom in a cognac rose sauce (19$). Also cooked to al dente. I ordered this dish and loved it. Really flavorful and tasty. One of the best pasta dishes I've had.
Zafferano is so yummy I'm already thinking about going back for my birthday next month!
Service was great, friendly and approachable. Not pretentious at all.
Atmosphere is classic Italian, great for dates and celebrations.
Go on and give them a try! You won't be disappointed!
