| - the food definitely lived up to the name and hype. i have always been hesitant to go thinking it was just another Italian restaurant. but i would consider coming back. we had 2 drinks each, nothing special, over priced alcohol that was nothing but mediocre, we didn't wish to order a bottle of wine (i know most tables did). we started with the burrata pizza, perfect thin crust and although simple, so full of flavour! i loved it, only complaint is that it was a warmish cold by the time it was served. moving on to entrées, i had the bigoli and my date had the gnocchi, both our dishes were delicious! especially the gnocchi, with the perfect amount of truffle, mixed with chestnut shavings and the crunch from the kaleit was the perfect texture and flavours - i can't stop thinking about it. the bigoli was very tasty as well, with the duck, really flavourful sauce. but the pasta may have been a tad undercooked. we also had an order of the bread knots, perfectly seasoned with rosemary and garlic, cooked to the perfect crunch.
food, as mentioned was great - our service was mediocre, if that. the service at a restaurant makes all the difference and experience that much better. by the end we just asked for the bill before we even finished cause we figured it'd take too long otherwise. for the price and prestige that this restaurant is know for, i am very confused as to why our server was so disinterested in us being there. never smiled, made no effort to make sure we were taken care of and that everything was good. we had a different server check in and the few encounters with him, surpassed our entire experience with our original server. i understand you don't necessarily connect with every server, but if he's serving me again next time, there probably won't be a next time, let's just leave it at that.
