Had such a nice meal here, as they were unexpectedly able to see our party of two since we came in later in the night.
We were sat in the cutest little two top at the restaurant in the nook of the window directly facing the street, giving us a bird eye view to people watch and protecting us from the chilly air and giving a sense of privacy from the rest of the noise. The place was decorated so nicely and only had about 10 tables, keeping the vibe intimate.
Juan, our server, was super friendly and helpful, giving his honest opinion and recommendations on each of the dishes we inquired about.
He brought out bread with olive oil and Parmesan cheese to start us off, so fresh and delicious.
We almost got the burrata appetizer but went with the chicken Parm spring rolls at his recommendation, since they were relatively new to the menu and so unique, something we couldn't get anywhere else.
They were pretty yummy, I'm not the biggest fan of fried egg roll style dishes, but the flavor was there and the marinara sauce for dipping was seasoned so perfectly.
I didn't have any drinks, but my friend had the lemon drop martini and was raving about it. For dinner, we decided to share the pesto gnocchi and the lobster ravioli.
Juan warned us that the pesto gnocchi was not as flavorful as some gnocchi in other restaurants due to them being a nut free restaurant, but said they add a creamy component to the texture that gives it a special flare. He was not wrong. Although it wasn't the best tasting pesto, I've had, the texture was delicious - I could have even used a pinch more creaminess! We added some shrimp on top, these were cooked perfectly, but overall we added a little salt and pepper to the dish to enhance the flavor once at our table.
The lobster ravioli was absolutely perfect. I had a similar dish the night before at another restaurant in the north end during my trip and this one completely took the cake. The sauce was 10 times better and the flavors were so potent and aromatic.
We shared the tiramisu after, which wasn't made the traditional Ladyfinger way that I'm used to, but was still yummy and light, the cake had a mousse-like texture that made it not too heavy after such a filling meal.
All in all, I would definitely come back
