This place is dangerously a few blocks away from my house but luckily the prices aren’t bad. Henk, ‘Seppe, and I split a bottle of red wine while deciding what to order. Liane and we ended up ordering six pastas to share.
- Risotto – The rice was pretty much perfect but the wine wasn’t cooked through enough so it tasted a bit too strong.
- Lasagne – Good. Authentic. Enough said.
- “Fat” spaghetti. Thicker than the regular kind and in a sauce of tomatoes, onions, and pancetta. What’s not to love?
- Wild boar pasta – Sorry, I don’t remember the name. It’s like linguini but almost an inch wide. Very hearty. And boar is leaner but tastier than regular pork.
- Spaghetti – This was Liane’s pick. The shrimp was nothing to write home about, but the clams, squid, and mussels were excellent. Same with the sauce and pasta. It also had a nice kick to it. Not quite arriabata, but much more than marinara and seafood broth.
- Four-cheese tortellini with truffle cream sauce – By far everyone’s favorite. The tortellini were about three inches in diameter. The cheeses all melted and gushed out when you cut in, and they were generous with the truffles. One of the best pastas I’ve ever had.
