We heard good things about Oca Nera. Getting a reservation proved difficult as the earliest we could get was over a week out...this proved to be tantalizing as it was an early indication of the popularity of Oca Nera.
We were greeted warmly at the door and after giving my name was adressed by name thereafter. Table was excellent and we were immediately given fresh buns with olive oil and balsamic vinager on the side.
The menu was explained, specials were vocalized and a lot of attention was given to us regarding any questions we had. Service was amazing...
We had oysters and the Signature Strega as appetizers. Sooooooo good and so fresh. The side sauces for the oysters were amazingly paired.
For our mains I ordered the Wagyu steak and my wife ordered the Nera Mare É Terre dish. Both were amazing and presented new tastes to our paletes.
One of our friendly waiters, and part owner, then brought us a free sampling of the chocolate pasta (ravioli) stuffed with melt in your mouth cheese.
I enquired about their Amaro list and was guided to a good choice. Amazingly I was also given a superb Amaro sample (full serving) on the house to compare.
We finished with a cappuccino and expresso while listening to the live guitarist.
I highly recommend this restaurant and we will be going back for sure.
