I enjoyed this restaurant located in a small house. There are fewer than 20 tables. It has a very cozy atmosphere and it is BYOB (or GATSABI, read: go across the street and buy it). $5 corking fee.
The house was full when we arrived, but we were able to be seated in about 25 minutes. We were offered water while we waited.
Once seated, we chose an appetizer of baked cauliflower. It is just as it sounds, a simple, but well done dish. They were simply prepared with just some herbs and oil. They were cooked to tender and tasted great. It was a nice healthy start to the meal.
There is a free offering a crispy, thin triangular pieces of bread. It is served with some oil, but I wasn't a big fan of it. The bread was too thin and crisp to truly dip in the oil. I guess if you want substantial bread, order one of the bread based appetizers.
For my main I got the Penne Arrabbiata which is a simple penne pasta tossed with pomodoro sauce and red pepper flakes. The menu is full of seafood laden pastas that sounded really good. While I went basic with my order this staple sauce did not disappoint. It does have a kick to it.
For dessert the gelato did not disappoint either. I loved the taste of the Brie and Fig gelato. The Tiramisu gelato tasted mostly like coffee to me, which makes me wonder how it differs from the Espresso gelato.
I will come back here, but it will probably be just for gelato. This place needs to get on the radar of ice cream shop seekers.
