I came here with a friend for some lunch during a shopping trip. We were tired and hungry and as is…read morethe usual for between 12:00 and 14:00 everything was closed. We picked L'oca Ubriaca over the restaurant opposite and we weren't disappointed! Behind the reasonably small frontage lies a little spot of heaven. I adored the decor; a mixture of exposed brickwork, beautiful (if not a little random) paintings of parrots and then cold industrial ventilation, strip lighting and metalwork. We chose a table upstairs on the balcony and were quickly attended to by the waiter. Unfortunately we don't speak Italian and he didn't speak English so I can't really comment too much on the standard of service but he was friendly about it rather than annoyed. After a quick translation of a menu with a phrase book we plumped for a panini each. I couldn't really decipher the rest of the menu but of the few other customers also eating their dishes looked amazing! The food was prepared at the bar, it arrived quickly and was reasonably delicious. Hard to be blown away by a sandwich but the ingredients were fresh and I was happy. The only gripe would be that the bathroom seemed a little weird. There was a small window at floor level without any glass in. Obviously bit odd that anyone could walk past and catch a glimpse of you at your business, also pretty chilly in mid January. My hope is that it was a result of some renovations. There were also some exposed pipes and dodgy tiling, so hopefully this won't be problem in the future. It was located in a little frosted glass house though so the novelty was enough to gloss over the down bits. This is somewhere I would really like to come back to for an evening. The wine selection looked really good and it seemed like the perfect place for an intimate evening out.

The cocktails are inventive, elevated, and layered with thought, yet the atmosphere is relaxed and elevated while also unpretentious. Andrea, the owner, is part mad scientist (he has his chemistry set in the front window) and part storyteller. He crafts flavor profiles with house-made natural extracts that feel both novel and perfectly balanced. We had a blast geeking out with him about spirits while Satish and the rest of the team kept the night lively with warm hospitality and a bit of history woven into every pour. The naturally flavored home made welcome apertif and little bites were a charming touch, but the real highlight was realizing this wasn't just a drink, it was a total experience. Tonight's serendipitous nightcap was magical and we'll be back... again and again.

The rooftop view of the lake at night time was amazing no matter which room we were seated in. The service was fairly average the first night but quite good the second. The kids pastas we ordered were inexpensive but fairly small, my seven year old son predictably ordered twice which was just about the right portion for him. My wife and I ordered the tomahawk steak for two. The temperature and seasoning were actually done fairly well but the steak was a tougher cut than I expected. We opted for pastas the second night and the carbonara ended up being a good choice that I'd recommend. Overall, some hits and misses but the ambiance and view are solid and worth trying this place out.
