Everything was delicious, if there was anything to critique the watermelon fizz and Yuzu peach refresher was just a bit too sweet for me. More akin to juice than a mocktail. Italian meatballs 5/5 - very tender and flavorful Honey Burrata 5/5 - only had a bite of this but it was delicious with good acidity Beef carpaccio 5/5 - was worried about the sauce but it was perfect Truffle Pizza 5/5 - this was probably my favorite, it was absolutely delicious Spicy Miso Carbonara 4/5 excellent texture, heavy on the sauce but I've had better udon in LA Basque Cheesecake 5/5 excellent texture, a surprisingly large portion, a little for me sweet Butter corn bread 5/5 excellent taste, a bit crumbly but salty and sweet Strawberry Sorbet 3/5 pretty standard compared to the rest very delicious though Yuzu peach refresher - way too sweet needed to dilute it with more soda water Watermelon fizz - good but I still prefered mine more, I wish it was to the ratio of water to watermelon
Not as good as it looks.. Calamari was mainly batter, pizza was cold and sauce tasted sour, pasta tasted nothing special. Never thought pasta could be this bad. Overall, they lack of flavor. Truffle cheese bread wasn't that bad, but everything else we ordered, I wish I could turn them back. The only reason it's not 1 star is the staff seemed nice and friendly.
Very delicious, id say some items have more of a Japanese than italian but very with the italian concept. Drinks were delicious, truffle cheese bread very tasty but you have to like truffle oil since its pretty strong. Bone marrow toast was very good, cant taste much of the miso glaze but the dish itself was good. The pastas were good. We got the spicy miso carbonara and the uni pasta. You kinda have to mix the topoings onto the pasta so it can really be good what made me realize that isnt the yolk on top of the miso pasta if not the toppings on the uni pasta. The spicy miso carbinara is spicy, on the menu is has the chili peppers for a reason nevertheless it was good, id get it again. Then we got the butter corn bread and the peaches and cream. The cornbread was very good but all the butter was ok the bottom of the bread yet the whole thing was very moist but careful when taking a spoonful from the bottom area. I just wished it was evenly distributed rather than just on the bottom. Pe
