Wait time:
I arrived just before 8pm on a Friday night and the wait time was 1 hour. The wait time here is usually long so I was not surprised. We headed upstairs to the bar to grab a drink while we waited to be seated.
Food:
We usually order the grilled octopus to start but today we decided to try something different and we ordered the arancini instead. This dish comes with 2 rice balls so we ordered an additional one since there were 3 of us. The arancini were bite-sized but packed with flavour. Next time I will stick with the octopus - much tastier in my opinion.
For the main, I ordered the Mafalde ai Funghi. Admittedly, I only ever order this dish and for a really good reason...IT'S AMAZING!!! This is my all time favourite pasta dish, even after visiting Italy. The pasta was cooked to perfection and the truffle cream sauce was rich. Highly recommended for pasta lovers and first time visitors.
My boyfriend ordered the Bucatini al Ragu (he usually orders the Mafalde ai Funghi but wanted some protein today). Although the pasta was al dente, the dish was bland, lacked flavour and the veal was dry. He was disappointed because we love this restaurant and had high expectations. I was disappointed because I had to share my mushroom pasta :(
Service:
Our food came quickly and our interaction with the waitress was minimal. Can't complain since I was busy with enjoying my pasta :)
Final thoughts:
Highly recommended for those who love Italian food. Service is efficient (once you get seated) and prices are very reasonable. I can't wait to be back!
