Wow! What a fantastic restaurant! Atmosphere is lively, food is absolutely delicious, service is top notch and we will definitely be back!
It was a busy place but we were able to get a table for 3 without a reservation. Very good first impression of the menu and wine list. The risotto balls are amazing as others have reviewed; and the insalata caprese they had on special that night was super - amazing flavours! THANK YOU for actually using buffalo mozzarella!!! YUMMY!!!
For the main dish we had the gnocchi with tomato sauce and the Orecchio d'Elefante! WOW!!!! The flavours literally took me back to Italy! The gnocchi was so delicious and balanced well with the light tomato sauce; but the orecchio d'elefante was out of this world! The veal was tender, wonderfully seasoned and cooked just right; i just love adding lemon to this dish; seems to make the flavours more distinctive. The salad on the side is amazing as well (try putting the arugula and tomatoes on top of the veal...so yummy!). The potatoes were a winner as well!
Service was also great. Our server was very knowledgable, attentive and funny; she made us feel very welcome. It was also great to see the team work and professionalism amongst the staff there. That says a lot for the management and owners!
So, congrats BORGO on a fabulous trattoria! Here's to your continuing success and here's to us finding a new jewel in the city! Cin Cin!
