| - Ate here over the weekend with my girlfriends.
Upon first impression, it had a dark atmospheric vibe that was somewhat romantic, but also very cramped and squished... It felt like dining in a cave, but with 40 other people crammed together. We were seated at one of the room entrances, so I had to sit pressed up against the table the whole time, or would've been constantly bombarded by dishes and guests hitting my head.
Our waiter was friendly and attentive.
The Amalfi Risotto (seafood) $48.95 was HUGE! On the menu it states it's for 2 people and would take 30-45 minutes to prepare. It looked more like portions for 3-4 people. large pieces of seafood though, so that was greatly appreciated.
We also had the Sea Bass ($38.95?). You can't really go wrong with that. The skin was crispy and seasoned with a lot of salt... I didn't mind the salt, but my friends thought it was excessive. The size of the fish itself was quite small compared to anywhere else I've had it and also considering the hefty price.
Also had the ear-shaped pasta (Orecchiette All'Ortolana) and it was good. Really reminded me of my trip to Italy last year. Didn't have much sauce on it, but didn't need any more either.
They ran out of tiramisu dessert, which made one of my friend's super sad because she's absolutely obsessed with tiramisu. Thankfully they had panna cotta though, which is our second go-to dessert.
All in all, a pretty neat experience. Would've enjoyed it more had the venue been more spacious.
