Sarpa has great food, a nice vibe, and good service.
It is just the right amount of upscale without feeling stuffy.
The service is prompt and polite even on a Saturday night.
The food has intense and savoury flavours using quality ingredients.
We ordered:
THE GOOD
----------------------
Steak Carpaccio- chilled, thinly sliced, slightly acidic from the balsamic dressing. Very nice
Wild mushroom & goat cheese crostino- not good for sharing, but prepared perfectly all the right flavours
Summer squash & veal raviolini - SPECTACULAR! Rich (due to the butter sauce) so the smaller portion is just right. The ravioli is sligtly fried and crisp, the pistachios give it such a nice touch and the crisp sage leaves give texture
Grilled Provimi liver- cooked as requested, flavours and texture were great
The NOT SO GOOD
----------------------------
Mafalda corta- the pasta was on the brink of overcooked, otherwise it was delicious
Zuppa di Pesce- great portion, satisfying flavours, WAY TO SPICY and no indication on the description
All in all we would definitely go again for an elegant and delicious night out.
BE WARNED: They DO NOT accept debit cards... weird right?
