Make sure you try the “experience” menu! Very interesting! It is like a blind tasting menu!My wife and I enjoy the service , the food ! The highlight must try is the dessert ! De-constructed tiramisu and the starter calamari !
The pasta here are fantastic! Fresh, flavourful and quite nicely balanced taste-wise. Would highly recommend both the squid ink pasta and carbonara. The table beside us was raving about the carbonara too and the waitress said it one of their most popular dishes. However, dessert was a bit of letdown. It was supposed to be a tiramisu semifreddo but it didn’t at all taste like a tiramisu. Great service, nice patio that’s tucked around and off to the side from king street.
Lovely food lovely staff and lovely drink what else could you ask for :D my and my boyfriend had the brunch and loved every bite and sip
That was a treat! Very nice staff, good service, you see the training. But then an espresso together with dessert does not work, although I asked. But anyhow!Very very nice food! Very tasty, well cooked pasta, great appetizer, the carne crude was fabulous , really liked it and will definitely come back. Portions Very well sized, nice arrangements. So why not 5 stars? As always, I hate music with food. It is a bit pricy, and the wine list has quite a few holes for a restaurant in this category. The super Tuscan, was very nice i have to say! Great choice.
We were seeing a show at the Princess of Wales theatre and needed a place for Sunday brunch. Reviews were good and we were very pleased. David was our server and was excellent. Knew the menu well and was very engaging. We did the prix fixe with bottomless prosecco and the food was delicious. Ambiance was perfect for having the opportunity to talk with an old friend.
Ascari was an ok experience based on my girlfriend and I, we did feel that it should have been better based on how well they talked about it on infinite visa, our plates were $75.00 each on a prefix menu, the service was excellent which deserved a 1.5 star, the atmosphere was good and lively a bit loud but was ok which also got a star, the food was not as great as described it got a star to which in total was rated a 3.5 stars by us, the food lacked in flavor, each item that we got did not complement the one before it,we felt it was all off the one thing that was good was the filled pea pasta with wild mushrooms and also what looked like just square puffed fried dough except for the thin layer of Lardo,The rabbit leg needs salt and was too dry,For a 45min drive to this restaurant and to get food that is not even upto par and to leave with such unsatisfactory and feel like we needed something more and realize that no it was just a disappointment. We will not be coming back here but if you are by the area please do go in and try it out for yourself cause it might just be our dish that were not great but even tho it should always be an amazing experience everyday especially for the price you pay.
Cannot recommend highly enough. Did a bunch of dishes to eat family style and didn’t dislike a single one. Steak tartar was incredible!
This is a fine Italian restaurant that we found a little on the expensive side for what they give you. My pasta really didn't give me the wow factor i was expecting considering the price range. The overall restaurant atmosphere is okay and our waiter was great. He really did his job and we thought he was great.
Can’t beat the value of half priced wine on Tuesday! We were a party of four and had the best experience - from top to toe, everything was on point. We ordered the fried calamari, burrata salad, and focaccia to start. The salad was delicious (the cheese was quality and creamy, tomatoes were bright and the pickled eggplant was delicious), and my in-laws felt the calamari was some of the best they’ve had (the cornmeal crust was light, crispy and well seasoned). For mains we ordered the cod with white bean stew (fish was excellent and stew was a beautiful compliment), braised rabbit pasta (so hearty and comforting - reminiscent of the famous pasta a la presse from The Grill in NYC!) and the squid ink pasta (we were told it was the least ordered, but hands down the best pasta dish, and it truly did not disappoint). Had the tiramisu and a lemon tart for dessert and both were a delightful finish. Front of house and service staff were engaging and attentive, the space is bright and lovely, and music was fun without being too prominent. Will definitely visit again. And again.
Overpriced subpar food. The BURRATA ALLA NORMA was okay, CROSTONE DI SARDE was too tangy for our taste, the ZUCCHINI was good, the CONTROFILETTO DI MANZO was good but nothing special, the SPAGHETTI ALLA CARBONARA doesn’t taste like Italian food, more like Chinese food which is not bad but just weird, the PAPPARDELLE AL RAGÙ DI CONIGLIO was good, and the MEZZO PACCHERI DI SEPIA NERO was too salty I couldn’t even finish it. The vibe of the restaurant was good but overall not worth it for the price. Will not come back and do not recommend.
