Well when I showed up I learned everyone else was getting a grand tour of the place so I went to the bathroom
The limonata cocktail I had might have been my favorite thing of the night. That or the tette della monaca. I like lemon
The crab pasta was the perfect kinda share plate, I ate just as much as I wanted. Delicious but I tap out after a few bites. That specific ocean salinity, surfs up
The pizza I loved even tho some bites had too much tomato possata. The coppa got lost. Great as dough and tomato tho
Puntarelle and the duck were two faves.
Clean eating, all that olive oil. Plus a midnight walk home in light rain
Just went last night - if i were rank top 3 dishes
Puntarelle #1 by a mile
Branzino Crudo #2
Maccheroncini #3
honorable mention burrata with caviar
really impressive meal - coming from a person who generally doesn’t like the Italian food scene in LA. The texture of pastas aren’t your typical - more QQ Chinese noodle style. Flavor profiles on the apps felt different too - the love of high quality olive oil is resplendent without feeling heavy.
we felt: this restaurant is very similar to Funke and Mother Wolf in quality level, style, and palate. Meaning we would go up to four times a year but don’t view it in the same way as Baroo etc.
All the dishes were good except the cresc’tajat. Ikura leads many chefs astray and tends to overpower dishes. The dish wouldn’t have been good regardless.
so I went to the bathroom
