"Absolutely gorgeous new Italian restaurant and impeccable service.. but the food fell a bit short for me.\n\nChic, modern and charming, the decor and ambience was spot on especially with their impressive open kitchen. For a new restaurant, the place operated like a well-oiled machine. The servers were very knowledgeable and experienced with the menu which had a good amount of options and variety. Service was very attentive - my water and wine glasses were never empty.\n\nWhere the seams came apart a little bit for me was the food.\n\nRadicchio salad ($13) - watercress, parmigiano and apple vinaigrette. The greens in this dish was quite bitter and just wasn't able to taste much from it beyond the bitterness.\n\nSea bream crudo ($14) - like ceviche this was thin slices of sea bream cured in citrus juice with chili and basil. Sounded really appealing but tasted just okay and was such a small portion. Shared between 2 people I only had a few mouthfuls.\n\nMushroom pizza ($19) - out of everything we had, I liked this the best. With caramelized onion, watercress, potato and truffle, it tasted like a wood oven pizza which I enjoyed. \n\nFregula pasta ($18) with mussels - in a tomato sauce (more like tomato soup actually) the fregula pasta are very tiny little pasta balls. Mussels were good but I think my issue was that tomato sauce tasted kind of plain..\n\nComments on food aside, I'm a sucker for how beautiful the restaurant looks and think this would be great place to check out for drinks but the food just missed the mark for me."^^ . .
