I haven't had any chance to come back here but I can't stop craving for their pesto sauce. I've tried different Italian restaurants but none can make the sauce as good as them. *drooling*
I was here for a farewell party. This place was packed even though it was only 7PM. People were lining up outside despite the cold (it was during winter). The outside of the restaurant looks fancy and upscale but the atmosphere was warm, cozy and casual (a bit suffocated since it was so packed).
My sister and I ordered Calamari Alla Grigila for starter. It's basically just grilled squid marinated with olive oil, lemon and basil pesto. (yummy pesto!!). It was amazing! My sister had pizza but I can't remember its name. The pizza was crunchy and the crust wasn't too thick. It was full with toppings and tasty. I ordered Spaghetti al Pesto (grilled chicken, sundried tomatoes in pesto cream sauce). Can you tell how much I love their pesto?!? While waiting for our orders, we tried their fresh baked bread.
The price is reasonable for a nice, authentic (or close) Italian cuisine. The serving size is decent.
It was super busy and packed. The service was quick but the staffs weren't very friendly. They may have a long day! But at least smile!
I walk by this restaurant everyday and it's always busy. ALWAYS! Even during lunch! During the summer they have the patio open as well. However, I will definitely find a chance to come back here again (not during the weekend tho). I love their pesto sauce! (but thinking about the lineup makes me feel frustrated)
