| - Fantastic dinner.....again. Octopus was fabulous as it was the first time I had it. But the Buratta with almond honey might have taken the cake for the starter which says a lot because I crave the Octopus. The pork Saltimboca was flat out ridiculous. I really thought with a brine and then prosciutto wrap would make it too salty, but it was far from that. It was perfect didn't need anything. The potatoes were unique because They looked like fries sautéed with veg, but the crispy leeks on top added the slight crunchy texture that helped break up the richness of everything else in dish. I'm a huge eater I think they could've dialed back the veg and potato on the dish. My date had the Carbonara. I'm not a fan of it because it's really a romantic dish. Although the ingredients are simple, it's the chef's relationship with the product that makes it amazing. This was one of the most fantastic I've ever tried. Did I like it? No. But the execution was perfect. There was a small but of white wine and very little cream and the egg created layers over and over. It wasn't swimming in sauce and I love that. Again, it was the execution of the dish that made it great. I just don't like carbonara.
I wasn't excited about the dessert menu but daddy needs his sugar. The affogato was tremendous, but the olive oil shortcake was brilliant. They macerated the strawberries with a touch of brand but it was more complimentary than predominant. But the cake was so incredible and super functional. I could be served with anything.
My only complaint would be where we sat. We were sat on the patio right next to a table that got sat exactly at the same time as us. They complained about everything and we were subjected to listen to them complain openly about everything, then complain to the server, and when he offered to redo or get them something else, they'd refuse and then sit there and complain again. Keep in mind that we sat at 5:15 and there was nobody else around. I'm happy they are busy, but sitting us next to people simultaneously in an empty restaurant makes it tough to be able to really enjoy your company. We literally were sharing our dining experience with them and their attitude and pettiness was really annoying.
Next time, if they sit us next to a table at the same time, I will ask to be sat elsewhere and if the say no again, I will probably leave. But I won't dock them for it because what they are doing is special, but they also need to keep in mind that absolute no opens themselves up to negative reactions.
