How this place isn't Zagat rated is beyond me! I cannot stop thinking about the food I consumed here.
My fiancé and I took the opportunity to dine here since we were dressed to the nines last night. I've had this place on my list for a while so I'm happy we made it in.
We didn't have a reservation, but the restaurant was pretty empty when we arrived. There were a handful of customers at the bar. We were seated in an area where we had full view of the kitchen. It looked organized and fun back there.
I ordered the Mediterranean Mirage cocktail, (not pictured) which is La Superba's version of a limoncello. It was awesome and served fast.
To start, a basket of complimentary warm bread and creamy whipped butter with some sort of seasoning in it was provided. It was delicious! I enjoyed it. It was different than regular butter packets or plain butter.
Of course we chose more bread as our appetizer, but this was slightly fancier. These crispy sourdough toasts were cut into triangles and loaded with wild mushrooms, creme fraiche and black truffles. This has to be a top favorite amongst diners. It was way too good and we finished the whole thing. I could've licked the plate.
My entree was the Eggplant Rolade and again, this must be a crowd favorite! I couldn't believe how much tastier it was than eggplant dishes I've had at high end restaurants in Center City. When I say this was full of flavor, please trust me. This is a wonderful vegetarian friendly dish. The herbed ricotta and linguine were cooked so nicely. The linguine held up overnight and tasted perfect after being reheated in the microwave today, the next day. It wasn't rubbery!
Finally, we shared the tiramisu, per the recommendation of our waitress. I loved it and so did my fiancé, but I'll say it could've had a bit more espresso flavor. It was fluffy and decadent, though!
The quality of service we received here was top notch, there's a parking lot with plenty of spaces, and the music played throughout the speakers is pleasant. The lighting is easy on the eyes and it's clean inside. I have nothing negative to say about La Superba!
I wanted to gate keep this restaurant so bad but I feel like everyone has to experience it at least once. Definitely worth it!!
