| - TLDR; come for their pastries, not their main courses. It's about pricey for what you get but I like the atmosphere.
Nutella bombolone - apparently the most popular pastry. Good but kind of underwhelming and expensive for the size and what it is. It's pretty much a Nutella stuffed donut that costs $3 and smaller than your standard tim hortons donut. They come in a mini size as well the size of a timbit but still costs $2.50... So obviously the regular size is a better bang for your buck
Jam filled biscotti - this is my favourite so far. It's different from typical biscotti, not as hard. The jam is not overly sweet so it's a pleasant snack.
Jam Frangipane crostata - a bit pricey for what it is but not a bad treat. Wish it could have been warmed up a bit tough.
Antipasto Della casa - not a bad starter to share. I loved the gnocco fritto, which seems to have been subbed in for the Mozzarella. The charcuterie selection was pretty standard (salami, prosciutto and capocollo).
Farcito classico - they call this a pizza, I call this a sandwich. Literally prosciutto, Arugula, Mozzarella, and tomatoes stuffed between cold, hard pizza crust that resembled stale bread. I thought it would have been warmed somewhat but it was not.
Saccoccia - this was an interesting dish. It's pretty much a giant ravioli stuffed with burrata. The menu says it's served warm, not hot, because they don't want to melt the burrata but really it was just cold. Still enjoyable and unique though.
Astice - very pricey for the portion size in my opinion. You get one lobster claw with a small plate of pasta for $28. I did enjoy the pasta's spicy kick from the chili peppers and the strong basil taste. However when this was served, the outer layers of pasta was already room temperature/cold...
Overall, I think I would still come here and pick up a biscotti for my coffee, but I would pass on coming to the restaurant again.
