Before you read on to my food recommendations, I want to mention that the service was NOT 5 stars. The waiters seemed disengaged and snooty, and they were not helpful at all in recommending dishes to us. The 5 star rating is solely for their food, which was out of this world delicious. This restaurant is an Italian tapas-style restaurant, but FYI some of the dishes are probably too small to be shared. Their wine list is insanely extensive - it comes as two hefty, hard-cover, bound books. I know nothing about wine but I do know that they had a fizzy red wine which was AMAZING. I don't remember what it was called but there is only one wine that fits that description.
I loved the following dishes:
- Scrigno "chest of pasta" - highly instagrammable delicious morsel of cheese-filled pasta
- Stella di ricotta - this was like a melt in your mouth cheese souffle. I didn't care too much for the broth - it seemed to make the dish too salty - but the souffle part was bomb
- Raviolini - OMG SO GOOD. I can only eat ravioli that contains snails now.
- Beef brisket + lamb - delicious and tender
I didn't care for:
- Rapa bianca (pickled white turnips)
- Orata (raw sea bream)
For dessert we shared the pastiera (lemon tart) which I loved, and the la chiarina (sponge cake with chocolate and espresso gelato) which was also good.
