A personal blog detailing dining and eating experiences
So stopped by here on a trip to Toronto for lunch when exploring St. Lawrence Market.
The recommendation from the person was either the ravioli or the lasagne. She let me sample the ravioli (which tasted great). I ended up getting the lasagna with half meat and half regular sauce with Parmesan and mozzarella cheese. Definitely would get it again (but would get the ravioli next time to try as a full meal.
This restaurant was recommended by a friend’s friend as a good Italian restaurant, and he was very correct.
Got a mai tai for a drink (seemed pretty standard).
For appetizers, got several vegetable apps (they were good, but would probably do a meat dish if I wasn’t with a vegetarian). One was the eggplant and zucchini scalene.
They also served bread. One was similar to a pizza bread that I really enjoyed.
For the main, I split a veal parmesan (first time I’ve had that with veal) and a 12 layer white lasagna with a friend (each pasta layer was thinly sliced, that it reminded me more of a flat noodle). Both were amazing.
Also sampled the spicy rigatoni vodka. A great choice!
Only down side with the experience is that we had to sit outside (inside was fully booked). If it were a warmer day, it would have been perfect.
We grabbed lunch here after shopping at Dubrovnik Shopping Minceta.
I ordered the Lasagna, and I gotta say it tasted alright (not as good as Carmen’s in Tisno). Also ordered the Aperol Spritz, and it was what I expected from Europe (not too bitter). Overall, wouldn’t not come back here again lol.
Went to this place for brunch the second day at defected. Ordered the lasagna with white wine. It’s were excellent. The view was also excellent.
Update (8/8/2021): got scrambled eggs with ham plus a latte. All pretty good (also the toast and butter were good… apparently butter in Europe is different).
Update (8/9/2021): got an omelette. Also good, but would get the two dishes above over the omelette.
Got the lasagna. It was ok, but would not get it again.
For drinks, the old fashioned was pretty good. The merlot was alright.
