Was a great experience, great food, drinks were also good. The atmosphere inside is warm and welcoming. Love the art and the high ceilings. Service was a little slow and they weren't busy. BUT they were also prepping for a large event from the looks of it and our server was wonderful. I would definitely come again!
The meatballs were decent, but they lacked a punch of flavor that I was hoping for. In my opinion, using beef alone would have elevated them more than the combination of chicken and beef. The prawns were similar; they needed bolder seasoning to really make them stand out. The Sorrentina dish was satisfactory, though it didn’t leave a lasting impression. Unfortunately, the merluzzo, which is also known as halibut, was slightly overcooked, resulting in a texture that wasn't as flaky and tender as it could have been. Overall, there's definitely room for improvement in the seasoning and cooking techniques used.
The Caesar salad was quite nice and I was quite surprised by the toasted breadcrumbs. The salad was properly dried and seasoned.However the pappardelle e polpette was disappointing. The meatballs are uniform in colour and texture without much taste. The sauce is straight pomodoro without much additional seasoning. I will give them credit for the pappardelle texture but other than that the pasta was not good. It had a lot of potential but they need to elevate the sauce beyond just tomatoes.
Ellie, Brad, Charlie, and Andrea could not have made this place any more accommodating, delicious, and chill. Save your pennies, pick up your favourite person and make your way here. The gnocchi melt in your mouth, the pizza is crispy, chewy, and delicious, and the drinks… forget about it. Just come and find out for yourself.
Loved the vibe here . While we weren’t big fans of the pasta we enjoyed the Silician White pizza. The dough had a new chewy texture and it is essentially cheese and honey so who wouldn’t like that? 🤣 We also try the la Emma pizza which had smashed potatoes, but it was more of a mashed potato layer? Quite interesting. Nothing stood out that we would go back again tho.Follow @vonne.appetit on Instagram for more reviews 💕
