It is a family owned business for many years now. I was there today for the first time, because parking is a pain in the neck. We had some trial and error before we found a spot to leave the car.
We had a reservation for 7pm and that was the best on a Friday evening. The restaurant was packed. They have 2 blackboards with the daily specials and you can order from the menu too.
We started with 2 Aperol Spitz and a Vitello Tonnato starter. We shared it, because the portion size was huge. In addition to the bread came a bit of pecorino, some garlic mayo and a couple of olives.
Next course was linguine with loup de mer in a creamy sauce. But they had black truffles with an other pasta dish and we wanted to mix it.
The kitchen said no way, that does no go well together.
And they were right. The sauce had a faint taste of Anis seed from the Pernot and the dill. Truffle would have made the dish go wonky taste wise.
It was such a huge portion of pasta that we both were not able to finish it. We took the offer of a doggy bag. Others in the Restaurant did the same on their tables.
We were stuffed, but there was a surprise from the kitchen. Panna cotta in home made caramel sauce. Moreish.
We just finished it somehow and then came a plate of hot pastry.
It reminded me of the batter used for Cannoli. But just deep fried and covered in icing sugar in the former caramel sauce.
The next year a second trip to the restaurant is already been planned.
