Overall very good meal and great service, but not every dish was amazing.
For starters, we got the pig foot Milanese and grilled octopus. The pig foot was very good; I've never had it "Milanese" before, but appreciated the textural difference between the soft and chewiness of the gelatinous pig foot itself versus the drier and slightly crispy fried, breaded exterior. The sauce of the octopus dish was delicious, but it wasn't the best octopus I've had -- the octopus itself was too soft and didn't have its usual firmness and chewiness.
We decided to skip the secondi and go heavy on pastas...and shared 4 pastas between just 2 people. No regrets. My favorites were the beef cheek ravioli and the spaghettini with lobster. The ravioli flavor had such a rich flavor without feeling heavy, and the pasta itself was still perfectly al dente even though I don't usually notice the texture of filled pastas as much. The spaghettini was a nice and tart balance to the others we had, and the pasta was again perfectly cooked. But the best part of the spaghettini was the large portion of lobster that came with it. We also tried the gnocchi with oxtail, which had great flavor, but I thought the gnocchi was a bit too pillowy soft for my liking. Finally, we added on the fettucine with pancetta and radicchio for dessert, and the pasta itself was good, but I didn't feel like the dish came together as a whole, and the bitterness of the radicchio overpowered everything else.
Enjoyable meal and experience overall though.
