| - Had a great first time here. Let's just say I will be back for sure.
The concept, the atmosphere, the ambiance, the food and the service was great. The whole package of everything and especially for only open less than 3 months was great.
We had a table of 7 with 2 kids so there was a special person that had to handle us lol and that was Kendra. Seriously hats off to her. More to come.
We started with the bread for the table and the accompanying spreads were fantastic. The bread was good, fresh, and the display was nicely done. Check my pics. We ordered the FRITTO MISTO calamari, rock shrimp, herbs, vegetables appetizer to share and it didn't need any sauce to dip it in, just the lemon top and it was so excellent. Perfectly cooked and not to heavy breading.
The meals we had were:
CHICKEN IN POTACCHIO with fennel
TORCHIO which was my dish and absolutely fantastic. I asked Kendra about it and she said it was good and she was right.
GRILLED SCOLLIPINE OF BEEF SHORT RIB with calabrian chili glaze, charred zucchini, arugula
BLACK CAMPANELLE clams, fresno chilis, bottarga breadcrumbs and the pasta was dyed with squid ink
FETTUCCINE
I tried every dish from all the plates and I would order everyone again. Fantastic!!!!
Dessert came and we had the salted caramel budina that had gianduja crumble, sea salt, fresh whipped cream and apple crostata with oats, cranberries, warm apple compote, caramel mascarpone, toasted almond gelato
Let's talk about Kendra. She was fantastic. She took care of us made recommendations, was personable, checked in with the kids, took care of our drinks nicely and really made a good impression. Her spunkiness with her blue hair out of that fun vibe and really delivered. She was smiling the whole time and actually enjoyed working there and even said she loved it when we asked. I will ask for her again.
This is my style of restaurant the way everything is put together and I enjoyed it thoroughly.
