I have to say I was a tad skeptical when I booked this reservation for my husband and I on our anniversary. Italian mixed with seafood sounded too good to be true. BUT since I was pregnant so not able to enjoy the usual steak tartare or other raw delicacies, I picked this place mainly because it had the most number of dishes on the menu I could actually eat.
When you look at who designed the menu for this restaurant, your expectations go up a notch. And my expectations were blown out of the water. The ambiance was divine; quiet, intimate and simple, without being overly 'hipster'. The staff were extraordinary and attentive and honest.
The food was impeccable. From the focaccia (which was ridiculous, a must get) to the mains we ordered, I wish every bite lasted longer than the one before. I know the menu changes periodically, but if you can get the leek tortelli with lobster, that is probably the best lobster dish in the city (just putting it out there). And it's not just 3 measly tortellis; it was such a decent portion I was thoroughly impressed.
A definite go-to spot for special occasions.
