Signature Dishes
Neapolitan Braised Octopus
The octopus is tender and works well with mashed potatoes; whether the chickpea purée works for you is a matter of taste.
Back Garden Pasta
Truffle sauce comes with house-made sausage mince, and the tube pasta has a good bite; when two people share two pasta dishes, the meal may feel rich toward the end.
Tiramisu
Moist cake with clear egg and alcohol aromas; the alcohol flavor runs on the stronger side.
Balsamic-Smoked Duck Breast Cream Pasta
The pasta is firm, and the balsamic sauce is well-seasoned; the duck breast can be tender, but it may also be dry and a little salty.
Ittoryu Blue Basque Cheesecake
A plain cheese and blue-cheese half are served together; the savory side stands out, while the two cheeses balance each other.
