This place boasts to be one of the best italian restaurants and was recommended by many people. Went on a Thursday night and it was packed. We got seated by the counter table with the open kitchen in the centre. To me, it is not enjoyable to watch people prepare your food and I think the whole idea is a show-off.
We ordered a salad, 20 once steak with wild mushroom and a pasta dish to share. The steak is definitely a good quality of steak, so as long as you don't screw it, it can't go wrong. The seasoning is very simple, just pepper and salt. The mushroom is cooked perfectly but it is expected for a restaurant of this scale. The pasta was freshly prepared but nothing special. Overall, the dishes are good but not memorable at all. It doesn't leave you feeling satisfied or wowed, just "alright". I am not being a snob, but the strategy of this place is to use top-notch ingredients with no real culinary talent. The open kitchen actually exposes their weakness. The entire crew is like a line cook in MacDonald. They didn't transform the food and bring it to the next level. I left feeling unimpressed, un-inspired and a bit disappointed.
