Average, but cozy. Good service.
Holiday Monday dinner, so the small restaurant wasn't crowded yet still had a light stream of business - both in house and take-out. We had:
- Gamberi Limone (grilled shrimp on baby spinach salad w/ garlic crostini)
- Spaghetti Bolongese (meat and mushroom sauce)
- Risotto Pescatore (seafood)
The shrimp were overcooked, some hadn't been completely deveined near the pesky tail end, and the salad might've been a touch overseasoned. My dining partner commented that it was a bit on the sour side, and wasn't sure what one of the dressing ingredients was - I ventured a tapenade by the looks of it. The spaghetti was nice and al dente, but I found the sauce a little too salty to be fully balanced. In comparison the risotto was almost bland, but it had a nice seafood flavour to it. It had mini scallops, two each of shrimp and calamari, and a scattering of little mussels (not clams).
Service:
Good. We seated and served water and bread right away, and had constant top-ups of hot water without having to ask. The one server (manger/owner?) was very attentive and had good timing.
