| - Came here with a reservation for a table for 4, on a Friday night at 7pm. There was still plenty of room them but filled up quickly but the time we left at 9 it was filled. I love the illustrations and their branding on the placemats and menu, and the cute baseball bench seating across the wall.
We started with fritters with DOP cheese, this was quite disappointing barely any cheese and just tasted like fried dough. We also got the polenta toast with porchini and polenta fries, The polenta was soft on the inside and cripsy on the outside, a bit bland but was satisfying. I got the PIZZOCHERI DI TEGLIO, since it was very hyped up on here. The hand cut buck wheat noodles were ok, kinda too chewy and felt a bit gritty, the cabbage was bland but the cheese was good and it was very filling and served in a cute skillet. the TAGLIATELLE AI FUNGHI PORCINI was better, richer and flavourful sauce and good noodles. The RISOTTO ALLA MILANESE CON OSSOBUCO was excellent, the veal shank was tender and the risotto was flavourful (a bit on the salty side) but was savory, the portion was also huge. The food was good but i feel like there are much better places for italian food in the city especially within the same price point.
The service was a bit slow between appetizer and entree, it took them a while to bring it out. The atmosphere is lovely though, really cozy and there seems to be other Italians eating there. the place gets really loud when filled but ,it feels like you are in another country by the end of the night.
