My favourite Italian restaurant in Yorkville. Its definitely the go-to restaurant whenever my best friend and I can't decide where to go for dinner.
Their short rib truffle risotto is by far our favourite. At least one of us will get it each time we come! The portion size is so generous that it takes two of us to finish. The short ribs are cooked to perfection and melt in your mouth. The risotto has a strong truffle flavour and is so creamy and cheesy.
This time we also got the mushroom pasta. This too smelled strongly of truffle, but the taste wasn't as strong as the risotto. The mushroom medley blended well with the pasta and it was a solid dish overall.
The only thing keeping me from giving 5 stars is the service. It seems hit or miss. Sometimes we'll get a waiter that seems disinterested in serving us, which substantially takes away from our dining experience.
Will definitely return next time with my friend!
