Took advantage of the Restaurant Week offer to come try this restaurant with my family. First impressions were great, thanks to the friendly staff and the nice homely interior which reminded me of provencial Italy. The Restaurant Week menu offers a three-course lunch (without drinks) for $98+10%, which is great value! We were first served bread and butter/olive oil on the table. I asked for balsmic vinegar and was served a little dish of think and dark vinegar. It turned out to be really

We were first served bread and butter/olive oil on the table. I asked for balsmic vinegar and was served a little dish of think and dark vinegar. It turned out to be really tasty and made me finish a few pieces of otherwise ordinary bread.
For starter, it was a choice between soup of the day and antipasto mix. I chose the antipasto mix which was a great selection of salad, vegetables and meat. It looked and tasted fabulous! There were 3 choices for main (spaghetti, risotto and chicken). I had the spagetti with peperoni. This was a simple dish done just the way I liked. The spaghetti was chewy which blended well with the sauce which was light and a little spicy. The RW menu did not come with coffee/ tea, so I ordered an extra cappuccino to go with the dessert. It had more foam than the cappuccinos you get in other cafes which made it look great, but somehow I could not taste much of the coffee. At $48 it is a bit overpriced? There was 2 choices for dessert (profiteroles and millefoglie). Our waiter recommended us to have a mixture of both for sharing. The chococlate profiteroles were quickly finished amongst us as the bite size made it easy (and can be addictve!). The millefoglie turned out to be a pleasant surprise - I don't usually like creamy desserts but the pastry tasted really good and I found it less sweet than the french version (mille-feuille). Our waitress was attentive throughout our meal - always checked with us how we liked each dish and replenished our water frequently. Will definitely come back in the future when I am in the area and crave some authentic Italian!
