    Everything is superb! You cannot make a wrong choice. Gluten free pizza and pasta were amazing - you can’t tell they’re GF. Even if you just had pizza here it’s not ‘just pizza’ - so many flavours, & fresh quality ingredients. Hand made pasta is exquisite. You want to try this. You HAVE to try it. Desserts are INSANE. Best tiramisu I’ve ever had. Pistachio gelato is To Die For! Great atmosphere- sit up the back where the floor is carpeted for less noise. Good for friend catch ups, family dinner, date night. Service is excellent. I’ve been 3 times in a month & have recommended this place to anyone who will listen.

    Absolutely incredible! This was a meal where the rule book on how things are supposed to taste and be presented was thrown out and what you were left with was incredibly surprising and wonderful at every turn. We had a vegetarian meal (not vegan so dairy, honey and eggs were okay). Very often, we find that vegetables are used or presented in a manner that attempts to mimic the texture and flavour of meat. While I'm mostly okay with that approach, at Attica the vegetables and other ingredients definitely took center stage and didn't feel like they were a substitute for anything else. Non alcoholic pairings are usually just a dozen ways of serving something sickly sweet over and over, but the care that went into creating a series of unique, sometimes wine like drinks, was deeply appreciated. Also the fact that it was built around native ingredients and cooking styles means that I'm never going to experience anything similar anywhere else.
