No signs, No hours, No website, No problem!
Eating here is a crap shoot... They open and close whenever they want to. I have seen better hospitality in the bathroom of Cocktail Cove. But if you get lucky during the week when they are open, it's a real treat. Food is fresh and well prepared and the price is well worth it... even though some Cheap Charlies complained it was too little food for too much dinero.
Calamari in Sicilian Tomato Zupetta - This ain't your run of mill fwied tubes you find from an Applebeez cracker jack box kitchen. Tender calamari wading in a flavorful pinot grigio tomato sauce with toasted garlic, tapioca like cous cous and pine nuts. Delicate and delish.
Black Spaghetti - The pasta was awesome, calabreses sausage was a bit too salty and the rock shrimp looked like it came from a frozen pre-cooked salad shwimp bag at K-Roger's down the stweet. If you ran outta rock shrimp substitute it with... let's say lobster. Don't try using your weak Jedi mind trick on me with those whale shark krill. Besides that mistake, this dish was yummo.
Seasonal Risotto - Duck confit and mushrooms. Damn good. Arborio rice cooked perfectly with a little tooth to it and velvety. The duck was plentiful and tender. The mushrooms savory and added richness and color to the dish. Just friggin G O O D.
The bwead and bwead sticks were just ok... olive oil was fine but no fwesh ground black pepper. Just some chincy pre-ground black flakes. Meh.
Next up... pappardelle, tagliatelle and gnocchi.
It looks like they are finishing up the rest of the space and hopefully they will be opened on the weekends. If this joint survives and I hope it does... it will be one of the better Eye-talian joints intown.
I hope they gave the management company an offer they can't refuse on the lease.
I sleep wit da fishes for another bite of that risotto...
Splash.
