REVIEW: Let's start with the food: ✔️ The entree olive bread was delicious!! Especially served with balsamic and olive oil. ✔️ The fresh pasta we had for Cacio e Pepe and the Ragu dello Chef (duck) was delicious. It is one of the BEST pasta we've ever had.Great texture and really good flavour that helps bring out the sauce. Literally 5/5 worthy. ✔️ Particularly loved how the pepper and the cheese in the cacio e pepe came through really well. Great smoothness and flavoursome, and each bite was cut through with a perfect amount of sharp pepper. 🧀 ✖️ Unfortunately, the broccolini was not it. For $14.90 and being served 5 pieces of broccolini... it doesn't look good with 5 thin stalks for ~$3 each. When it says it's sauteed with garlic and chilli, I was expecting more chilli flakes/ spicy taste. I could taste that it was steamed and lightly fried, and it had a garlic aromatic, but there was an opportunity to add more chilli and broccolini! ✔️ I liked the Caprese. Especially the delicious creamy and slightly sweet buffalo mozzarella. The alternating soft (red) and hard (green) tomatoes added some cool texture and kept the experience really exciting. ☺️ ➖ Tiramisu was a decent way to finish. There was too much cream for me around the edges, until you made your way to the middle of cup where there was a good balance of lady fingers.

Service was so speedy. ✔️ We got seated ASAP with a booking. Would highly recommend a booking, because we saw diners being turned away/referred to their sister restaurant. ✔️ The food came out so fast too! Especially from what looks like a small kitchen. Very impressed. We were in and out within 1 hour. 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

✖️ Dislike how small the space was. My knee was touching my friend's leg all night 😂. A little bit awkward. Also, it was very easy to overhear the personal conversation of the diners behind me.
