Great service, amazing staff, great desserts. It's one of those places you keep going back to for the atmosphere, decor and staff.
Food is good, tasty and sumptuous --- all, except tomato-based dishes.
I haven't tried pizza yet.
I've been there a few times now and learned not to order anything tomato-based. I tried dishes from my friends and mine [of course] and the verdict is solid. It tastes as it's just been heated up straight out of the can. It misses Nona's love. Dolmio out of the jar tastes better.
Tomato sauce ingredients (if the owners read this review):
Crushed tomatoes (out of the can), finely chopped celery, carrots, onions, garlic and basil, salt and pepper to taste, 1 cup of red wine, a touch of sugar (to get rid of the acidity). Saute finely chopped celery, carrots, onions, garlic and basil over medium heat with some olive oil. Add tomato paste, stir briefly making sure it doesn't burn. Add crushed tomatoes. Bring to boil and add red wine; then lower the temperature and simmer for 2 hours. Remove from the heat and stir in some sugar (a flat tablespoon per 1kg of tomatoes) and add fresh chopped parsley. --- tomato sauce is a labour of love.
friendly service and delicious food, and always busy
Very authentic restaurant, it felt like I was back in Italy. The food was amazing, the whole experience had the vibe & look of a family restaurant in Florence. Service was great & meals were out very quickly. Perfect place for a date, the candle lit dinner was quite romantic.
