Hidden on elgin street is this little restaurant with a garden for outside or inside seating. Its tight seating and usually a lively atmosphere.

Hidden on elgin street is this little restaurant with a garden for outside or inside seating. Its tight seating and usually a lively atmosphere. We started off with a bottle of chianti classico... which led to another... and then another... all without breaking the bank. Started off with some olives, pepper poppers, bruschetta, and a cold meat board. All went very well with the wine and shared amongst the 4 of us. Since the table was quite small, we waited to finish all the appetizers before ordering the main dishes. Entrees for us were a couple of pastas, seafood risotto and puttanesca (always wanted to try this dish 😅, if you know what i mean). Both were better than expected. The risotto came with huge pieces of scallops and a creamy rich sauce, al dente. The puttanesca was highlighted with anchovies, it was very tangy. We also ordered the veal, which unfortunately was a tad disappointing with heavy breading. It tasted much like a cheese bread than meat. The meal ended with a piece of tiramisu, rich and creamy - perfect way to end a meal.
