I had a delightful evening at Oggis last night with my girlfriends, and it left a lasting impression. We're already planning our next visit.
First things first - if you enjoy seafood, do yourself a favor and order the grilled octopus. The sauce, which I've affectionately nicknamed "cracksauce," is a game-changer. They started us off with freshly baked rolls, and now I wish I had saved them to savor every bit of that saucy goodness from the grilled octopus antipasto.
Our entree order included the Rotolo Primavera, a delightful dish filled with a creamy spinach and ricotta mix, crowned with golden brown bubbly cheese- which we devoured! We also enjoyed the Gamberi Primavera, the perfectly al dente pasta and delicate sauce made the dish truly enjoyable.
I love spicy food so I couldn't resist ordering the Gamberi Diavolo. While it wasn't my personal favorite - I found the sauce slightly too sweet for the dish, the attentive staff and chef ensured my satisfaction. They surprised me with a dish from the secret menu - linguine lathered in the "cracksauce" I've been raving about. Be sure to ask Frank about the secret house menu and try Marie's "cracksauce" linguine -it was delicious!
The service was wonderful - attentive and warm. The restaurant has a charming atmosphere with both casual and fancy vibes. Seating is accommodating, with options for solo diners at the bar, group dinners in a large corner booth, and intimate dates by the window.
We made a 5 PM dinner reservations for a Saturday, and although the place was initially empty, it quickly filled up. I noticed that pickup orders were keeping the kitchen busy, but even with the influx of orders, the service remained excellent. We planned to have wine but were drawn to the cocktail menu, and we're glad we were! Girlfriends raved about The Italian Paloma. I had an Oggi Old Fashion which includes coconut rum and it was fantastic.
Parking was easy. My girlfriends found street parking, I parked in a lot next to the restaurant.
Overall, Oggis provided a delightful experience, and I can't wait to go back for more of that grilled octopus. The cocktail menu, pizza, and mussels are also on my list for the next visit based on recommendations from neighboring patrons who also raved about their food.
