Rosebud Pasta
This pasta, often served with a vodka sauce, is a standout dish that many reviewers dream about after their visit.
"Wow, I’m still dreaming of the rose in vodka sauce. We went here for a special occasion and it did not disappoint."

Burrata
A consistently praised appetizer, often featuring unique accompaniments like grilled pear, making it a memorable start to the meal.
"Every dish was executed really well, especially the burrata which included a grilled pear that I wasn't expecting."
Joe Li
Duck Confit Ravioli
This housemade ravioli, often served with brown butter sage, is a rich and flavorful pasta dish that leaves a lasting impression.
"The food was absolutely amazing — especially the duck confit ravioli, the Caesar salad, and the dessert, which was unforgettable, it felt like I was back in Italy - the pasta was that incredible."
Ash Belmer
Agnolotti
A unique and highly favored pasta, the agnolotti is considered one of the best in the city by repeat diners.
"The agnolotti is one of my favourite unique pastas in the city."

Caesar Salad
A creative take on a classic, this Caesar salad features unexpected elements like a wedge of romaine, polenta croutons, and a non-anchovy caper dressing.
"Good Italian food is always a pleasure to eat, but it was a treat to also be surprised by new approaches, e.g. a wedge of romaine in a Caesar salad, with tender polenta croutons, roasted squash and a non-anchovy caper dressing."
Lis Soderberg
Vodka Martini Extra Dirty
Beyond the food, this cocktail is specifically called out as a must-try for martini enthusiasts.
"The vodka martini extra dirty is also to die for."
