I ordered the Chicory Caesar Salad, Bistecca, and The Enchantress. We also ordered the flourless chocolate cake and the pesche e panna ( both were amazing) It was my first time at this place. My first impression was that it’s small and a bit dark. I wish there was more ambient light on the tables. The bathrooms were interesting and definitely something you need to experience for yourself. I did love all the textures in the decor. The salad was the best Caesar I’ve ever had. It wasn’t drenched in dressing or overpowered by anchovies, just a really nice balance. The Bistecca was amazing. The figs were a nice touch and everything about the dish was on point. The Enchantress wasn’t bad either, good for sipping. I ordered it because I was curious about the cardamom bitters. Overall, it’s a wonderful place with great service and delicious food. I’d definitely recommend it.
