Ate here for a quick bite for Italian food (also near our hotel in Amsterdam).
Got the ravioli and an aperol spritz. Would come back here for a quick bite.
St. Lawrence Pizza and Pasta
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.
Pearl on the Cliff
While walking from Thira to Oia, we stopped by this place for lunch (city called Imerovigli)
Aside from the service being a bit slow, this place was great (from the food to the view).
For drinks, got an Aperol Spritz and a latte.
For appetizers, got some spreads (tzatziki and a salmon spread… really loved the salmon spread), as well as tomato fritters.
For the main course, got the spinach ravioli.
Amici
A great Italian restaurant, with good food and a proper Italian atmosphere.
For the main course, I got the Ravioli di Aragosta (lobster and stuffed). Definitely happy with the meal.
For the desert, I got a crepe with ice cream. Also really good.
Vino Santo Bistro
Another great Italian place. Most people here were a bit dressed up (so we slightly stood out, but that was not an issue).
We started at the bar. I got two drinks, the first one was spot on (just the right amount of sweetness, and it was also very refreshing). Unfortunately I do not recall what the drink was called (it is on their cocktail list). I believe it was rum based.
For appetizers, we got the calamari. For my main dish, I got the lobster ravioli. Both were great, but I would try another main dish next time I visited (but as mentioned the ravioli was delicious).
Old Spaghetti Factory
So I finally checked this place out in America.
I ordered the crab ravioli, which I must say was really good and tasted. I will be getting this again. But next time I should really try the spaghetti.
Also, drinks were cheap (and not bad). I got an old fashioned for $7.00.
Lastly, a pro tip if you’re waiting to be seated: the bar open seating is actually a good way to not wait (although I guess you don’t get the full ambiance of the restaurant).
Update 1/27/2019: I went back here again and got the Stuffed Pasta, which had spinach tortellini and and spinach and cheese ravioli. It was alright, but definitely not as good as the crab ravioli from last time. Also, we got the calamari as an appetizer. I would advise not to get it again (it was kind of soggy, and didn’t taste quite right). Although, the ice cream at the end was good (forget what the flavor was called, but I was a mix of childcare, pecan, and something else).
