Why did I wait so long to come here?
We had the escarole salad - I won't get into details on that as many have reviewed it - it's nom nom heaven ... but we also shared the arancini balls (aka rice balls in delicious tomato sauce). One per person is really plenty unless you're a pig and must over-indulge but why bother when the bread and olive oil they bring to the table is so good.
I had the agnolotti, when reading the description - Peas, fava beans, mint, preserved lemon & goat butter ... I first thought this is going to be so heavy but trusted the waitress and ordered it anyway ... thank god! Best pasta dish I've ever tasted. The freshness of the lemon, peas, fava and mint is a really nice balance to the stuffed goat cheese and butter.
My husband ordered the smoked spaghetti - Manila clams, fennel sausage, chili & parsley - the smoke factor was incredible. You could really smell and taste it with every bite and don't worry it's not a sausage fest in your dish.
We opted not to order the dessert b/c why ruin the party in your mouth when you're plenty full but I saw people enjoying the sticky toffee pudding. The appetizers I also saw the table next to us enjoying was the fried asparagus with anchovies. Their main was the agnolotti as well but they also enjoyed a fine looking piece of steak.
Atmosphere is great and staff are attentive without being over-bearing.
Must go people!
