Fantastic
neighborhood
gem.
Food
was
flavorful,
cozy,
inviting,
and
fun.
Not
fussy
or
arrogant,
but
cooked
with
love,
execution,
and
straight
from
the
heart.
My
favorite
was
the
Burrata
dish,
a
cold
cheese
dish
with
the
seductively
sumptuous
balsamic
glaze
and
the
best
thin-sliced
prosciutto
I
ever
had
(thankfully
not
too
salty
as
it
was
packed
with
flavor).
The
bread
was
fantastic
for
mopping
up
the
rich
tomato
based
seafood
app.
My
wife
and
I
loved
the
seafood
spaghetti
dish,
although
the
dark
brown
(think
buckwheat)
spaghetti
surprised
us
at
first.
The
rich
white
wine
broth
and
clams
were
fantastic,
but
the
noodles
were
perplexing
and
intriguing
(and
fantastic!).
The
whole
wheat
made
it
seem
like
it
might
be
tough
but
it
was
smooth
and
chewy,
while
still
hearty.
And
yet
it
almost
felt
too
soft
and
about
melt,
although
there
was
a
firm
elasticity
to
it!
The
scallops
risotto
was
rich
and
decadent.
Temp
was
good.
The
service
was
good,
the
outdoor
ambience
was
wonderful,
the
napkin's
blue-gray
hue
resonated
with
my
wife,
and
the
plates
were
gorgeous.
Overall,
it
was
excellent
and
worthy
of
going
back
and
recommending
to
friends
and
family.
The
meal
may
not
have
been
technically
flawless
(the
delicious
octopus
could
stand
to
be
grilled
or
cooked
a
tad
longer),
but
it
was
still
perfectly
authentic,
heartfelt,
and
admirably
executed.
It
straddled
the
fine
line
between
elevated/elegant
and
homey.
It
accomplished
what
it
set
out
to
do
and
delivered
on
what
one
would
expect!
We
live
outside
the
city,
so
we
won't
be
able
to
visit
often,
which
may
be
good,
because
this
is
such
a
fine
neighborhood
establishment—if
I
lived
nearby,
I'd
definitely
be
in
danger
of
blowing
my
monthly
dining
budget!
