"We decided to start with the Polipo, which consisted of grilled octopus served with roasted potatoes, green olives, and fresh herbs accompanied by a romesco sauce. The octopus was just slightly over-charred, but the sauce and the crunchy potatoes were outstanding. Our other appetizer was the Polpettine—five delicious meatballs that were moist and perfectly seasoned, resting on a bed of marinara sauce and served with two slices of buttery toast, which were excellent for soaking up the sauce.
For the main courses, I chose the seafood special, featuring wide noodles with a variety of seafood in a broth reminiscent of linguine with clam sauce. The dish included perfectly diced carrots and zucchini that still had a nice crunch. My wife had the gnocchi with fresh pesto sauce, which was pillowy soft and contained incredibly fresh pesto. My daughter ordered the cappelletti, tortellini stuffed with truffle and ricotta, served with prosciutto and a light broth. The pasta was cooked to perfection, al dente. Finally, my son had the carbonara made with wide noodles, smoky bacon, and a poached egg. This unique version worked beautifully, and as with all carbonaras, the egg yolk created a rich and luxurious sauce.
At the end of our meal, they brought out a three-layer vanilla cake with vanilla frosting. It was perfect—delicious without being overly sweet. On this special night, the restaurant staff truly went above and beyond. Our server did an exceptional job attending to all the small details. Thank you for a wonderful meal and fantastic service!"
