I dropped in after hearing great things about this place on Gaston Eats and reviews from coworkers. The best way to describe this place is to take your typical Italian restaurant in a food court then polish it with a chef polish. I had the lobster Mac and cheese and topped it off with bacon. This was lovely and a good baked style Mac with solid portions of cheese and just the right amount of lobster. My son had the Mr 704, a meatball sub with waffle fries. The fries were crispy on the outside and perfectly soft inside. The sub was filled with tender meatballs and a red sauce with freshly grated off the block parmesan cheese on a fresh roll. The roll had just the right amount of tooth to hold up to the sauce without being bready or falling apart. We also had the Mac and cheese egg rolls as an appetizer. These are a signature here and worth getting. The Sriracha mayo adds just a little bit of kick to balance the cheese and crunch for a smooth finish.
For dessert, we tried a lemon sorbet piped and finished with toasted coconut that was light on the tongue and a refreshing finish after the heavy cheeses and lobster. We also tried a peanut butter chocolate mousse with a chocolate ganache and Oreo crumb bottom. This was also sublime, and definitely in the chef's wheelhouse.
It was a pleasure to meet the chef and watch him take the simple ingredients an tableware of a food court and make it gleam. This place is truly a culinary experience. Thank you Renaldo!
