    My friend and I loved our brunch of meatball over creamy polenta, with Brussel Caesar as appetizer. Everything was delicious, and the service was excellent. A lovely experience!

    My best friend and I had reservations for Saturday evening. We wanted to take advantage of the March Mangia three course prix-fixe menu for $45. It was definitely worth it! We both ordered different items for each course (mainly to try each other's food). The marinated olives & focaccia for the table was warm, buttery, and great! For Antipasti we ordered the brussels caesar and the rapini. Brussels Caesar was light, crunchy, and savoury. The rapini was good, however we felt that due to the spicy sopressata being rendered down, it was a tad bit saltier than preferred. For Secondi, we had the lasagna and the sea bream. The lasagna was cheesy and rich from the besciamella. The sea bream elements seperately were all fantastic, however combined (my preference) I would've liked roasted vegetables with the delicate and buttery fish. For Dolci, we had the torta and the budino. The torta was fantastic! It reminds me of a deconstructed elevated Ferrero Roche chocolate. The Budino was also fantastic and reminds me of a deconstructed white chocolate strawberry cheesecake. Overall, the meal was great! The ambiance and service was top tier. I highly recommend and will definitely be back! Apologies for no photos...we were mindful in the moment and enjoyed the meal in good company.
