I had two Italian meals back to back, and unfortunately this place lost out. For a multitude of reasons: the service was haphazard, the menu was boring, the food was either bland or too salty, the music was too loud, the 2-seater tables were too small.... the only saving grace was the price - cheap (for this part of town), no service charge (they didn't deserve mine), and free tap water. I thought they were trying to create a vibe that kinda worked, but didn't for me. The service was actually an
If only the food was good, then at least I could forgive the glitches mentioned above. To be fair, perhaps we didn't order what was meant to be their signature dishes that best reflected the chefs' skills and the ingredients' flavour. But the menu was just a lot of carbs, carbs and more carbs. The mains were uninspiring so we thought, OK, this place is meant to be good for pasta, so let's hit it. We ended up with a classic linguini which was pesto with tomato and basil.... I could have done a better job at home (I didn't even bother taking a picture coz it would just be misleading - looks alright, tastes miserable). It was too oily and despite the massive amount of herb it somehow didn't translate to much intensity in flavour. We ordered a rosemary breadroll, which was just a large piece of ciabatta/pizza dough like thing. We could have ordered the eggplant bread roll, but they ran out of ?Eggplant?. We shouldn't have ordered it for 2 girls, as there was already a decent bread basket for free.
Seriously, I was disappointed given what the previous reviews have written. I'm not even tempted to come back despite the cheap price.
