We saw multiple parties having to be turned away without a reservation and the tables (only 6!) were always full with reservations. We ordered salad #2 and the vegetable soup to start. The salad was the star! Very similar to a Chinese chopped salad. For our mains, the salmon was our favorite. It was perfectly cooked and sat on top of a bed of warm cabbage. We do wish we ordered the spare pork ribs, though. They looked and smelled amazing as they passed by to another table! Tip: Be sure to bring cash as they do not accept credit cards. And make a reservation!

For main course I had the black Angus steak with balsamic that was perfect and the balsamic balls were the perfect on top of the mashed potatoes and fun to eat! My friend had the duck and that was delicious as well. The desserts are what initially attracted us here and we could not resist the egg O Ovo that was a whole experience in every bite, you must try! We also had the lave dar and eucalyptus creme Brule that was an amazing marriage of flavors that danced on our palette.

With an inviting owner Silvia, who is incontestably a kind host with a great deal of patience and dedication for her guests. She started this restaurant adventure with her sister known to be a talented cook. Her husband, the wine maker of Aneto had purchased with her a winery that required a lot of attention and love. So, the idea was to create an Artisanal and innovative restaurant that would be supporting and enhancing their wine business. Well, they are now number ONE and recognized by the regional wine tourism association! Bravo ! They offer a small selection of Tapas and a wine pairing experience with eight original creations. They were also recommended to me by the owner of two great restaurants in Porto (Meia-Nau). The verdict is great! Our Tapas with Mussels and Sardines were great. The Portobello mushroom with tomatoes and a decomposition of ratatouille was divine. The Black Pasta with Mussels was also excellent. And for the wine The Grand Reserve Tinto 2020 was a delightful surprise. A full body wine with a well balanced combination of complexity and lightness. This wine offers a mixed elixir of joy with oak, vanilla, strong Blackberry , dark curent and wet saddle as well as a hint of chocolate and citrus! This is place is a great value in a charming and relaxed ambiance. We will be back!

The vibe is like a small local pizza hoping you'd find in Brooklyn. Unassuming and clean. A small variety of bottles and tap beer, wine and beverages. Had the house special seafood pasta and pepperoni pizza mini. The house special seafood pasta was not very good. The sauce was relatively tasteless and the seafood was poorly prepared (shrimp was a bad example of frozen seafood). There were some other tables that had ordered it, so it could just be an off night for the kitchen. The mini pepperoni pizza was a bit larger than a dinner plate and freshly made. Unfortunately there was no flavor in the crust and barely any sauce. Overall not very flavorful and not worth ordering. There were a couple other tables that had pizzas ordered so possibly like the pasta, an off night for the kitchen. One note - almost every every person in the restaurant besides the couple of pasta and pizzas ordered the francesinha. It appears to be the real winner here. If you're hungry and nearby, I would recommend to try that dish and forgot any thought of Italian fresh cuisine. Should have remembered the golden rule - check what the locals order first. The food experience should have made this a one or two star review, but the nice wait staff and the overwhelming orders of the francisenha these people were enjoying should give this joint a second chance.
