Very traditional Puglinese food. They are super kind but they take a long time to bring the food. It is very Italian to have slow service, but this is a new level of slow. They take about 40 minutes to bring a appetizer out, and then 30 more to bring your entrée. It was 7:30 and I was the only one in the restaurant till 8:30... Interesting. Found this one on a website saying "best of Navigli" so it surprised me that it was so empty.
Huge selection of great white wines. Had myself 3 glasses of one from Puglia. Delicious appetizer of mussels gratineé. Great and unique dish of special tomatoes with mussels called spaghetti alla tarantina for entree. Brought out selection of cakes that I tried after the meal. Wonderful.
Really hip decor- Vogue and Madonna books, record player (again, lol), lots of wine (duh- it's in the name!), and jazz playing in the background. Perfect.
The family who operates the restaurant started talking to us about their business: this super trendy restaurant is ran by the son, owned by the father, and its food is cooked by the mother. A truly trendy family business! read more
