How? How have I lived here for nearly 20 years, this place has been open for about 10, and we are JUST now finding this gem?? This may have been one of the best meals we have had in a long, long time.
Once I realized where this place was, I immediately had that, " Oh yeah!" moment. Wasn't sure just quite what to expect, but the menu looked great reviews were great, and we were excited.
From the moment we walked in, we knew we were in for a great meal. The atmosphere screamed comfort, the staff were super welcoming, and the food that we saw peppered around on the tables was clearly delectable.
My wife and I decided to do our own little tasting for our date night. We started with the octopus. Have you ever had octopus that melts in your mouth and tastes equally as delicious? No? Me either....until tonight. Such a simple preparation with flavors so perfectly balanced and mixed.
Next we got pizza with fresh mozz, prosciutto and arugula. After scarfing down this delicious za, we only then were informed that they hoped it would be better next time because they're pizza oven is broken, so they're "doing what they can.". Are you kidding me?! It was awesome.
Then came the stars of the meal. Gnocchi with Pesto and a special Rigatoni with guanciale. Holy S*#t. These, quite frankly, were the best pasta dishes I've put in my mouth. The pesto was so perfectly balanced, I cannot think of one I've had better. The special Rigatoni was amazingly warm, smokey, and sweet. Literally contemplated getting an order to go.
We topped the meal off with a special lemon cream tarte that they flew in from Amalfi. This place is just incredible.
So, simply put, run- don't walk- to make a reservation here and enjoy a meal to pleasure your mouth and your soul. We certainly will be again soon!
