The meal I had here was FANTASTIC. I keep thinking about my dinner and how much I want to come back!
STARTER
Even starting with the bread they bring out at the beginning - I'm not of a tomato sauce fan, but the tomato-based sauce/dressing they provide with the bread is heavenly. I'm not quite sure how to describe it, but it's lighter than what you would think of for a tomato sauce. It's more like a tomato-based puree or oil, and it's a deliciously light spread to complement the bread. 10/10
ENTREE
Now for the star of the night, the Fiocchetti Aurora. So freaking good!!! It's a pocket of yummy goodness, with a perfect blend of pear and asiago cheese. No flavor overpowers the other - the sweetness of the pear, the creaminess of the sauce, the sharpness of the cheese, and the heartiness of the pasta itself all balance each other out in matrimonial harmony. 10/10
DESSERT
I ordered the Zabaglione al marsala for dessert which is essentially a marsala wine-infused custard. It was rich, and it was incredible. The taste of the wine was delightfully strong, and the rich custard balanced well with the fruit garnishes. If I could eat one of these every day, I would. There are no secrets or surprised with this dish - you get exactly what is promised in terms of flavor, and it absolutely delivers. 10/10
SKIP NEXT TIME
Perhaps my standards are already too high compared to the rest of the food I had, but I wasn't super impressed with the Arancini Di Risotto appetizer. It was fine, but I'm biased against pea dishes to begin with, and the risotto, while technically sound, didn't blow me away in terms of flavor. Good, but I'll save my stomach space next time for the other courses.
Overall an outstanding meal, and the prices are reasonable too. I can't wait until the next time I can come back!
