My friends and Iwent there last night.
It's Italian cuisuine with a Japaenese influence.
The food and the service was incredible.
One of the best eating experiences i have had in a while.
We all got and shared the :
Antipasta/Appetizers:
Tortino de Granchio: crab meat, avacodo, green apples, Yukon gold potatoes, basil aoili, with grapefruit jelly, daikon radishes and chayote>>very delicious, fishy, light, full of taste!!!
Main course(s)
Spaghetti ai Ricci de Mare: spaghettie, sea urchin, serrano peppers, fresh tomoatoes, and basil in galric oil>>>this dish was delicious; it was very creamy with a hint of spice.
Penne al salsiccia: penne, sausgae, fresh tomoatoes, spicy tomatoe sauce>>this had the right a mount of spice without the spice overpowering the flavor
Pappardelle alla Sicilliana: homemade papparodelle, with eggplant, basil, fresh tomatoes in tapenade sauce>> very light, full of great vegetables; not oily but buttery
Linguine all Pescatore: Linguine witrh clams, mussels, shrimp, squid, and sea scallops>>succulent sea food, spicy flavor, great sauce to sea food ratio
FOR DESERT:
we shared.....
the flan:baked cream caramel with fresh fruit and whipped cream
crepe con mela:crepe filled with vanilla gelato apple compote, earl grey jelly, sliced almonds
cheesecake: served with whipped cream and fresh fruit
that topped off with a cappachino and we were good to go...
