I gave this place a very positive review several months ago.....so on my recent visit I was very disappointed to have what could only be termed a decidedly mediocre experience. Like far too many restaurants that start out with great care and effort, they have not been able to sustain their success. The place was very busy (on a Friday) night....and that was to be expected. The staff coped quite well with the stress of serving a full place.The wine is still very very good, though at prices t
The place was very busy (on a Friday) night....and that was to be expected. The staff coped quite well with the stress of serving a full place.
The wine is still very very good, though at prices that are more suitable for SoHo than Kennedy Town.
But the disappointment lay in the food.
Rocket and beetroot salad: Just okay. A rocket salad with a few chunks of this-and-that added.
Fettucine alle vongole: Poor. Swimming in far too much liquid for any self-respecting pasta chef, and frankly pretty tasteless. Had neither the flavour of clams nor garlic, and as a result we left half the dish over.
Pizza with prosciutto di parma: Again, just okay. Nice thin crust with a couple pieces of ham spread over the pizza. Covered with a mound of rocket that was mostly "sticks and stems and seeds" -- not much of a garnish.
After this disappointment, we gave up without trying dessert.
There are now 3 pizza places in the Davis St. strip....I'd be tempted to try the others before going back here.
