Three of us shared an antipasto plate - a lovely, teasing way to start a meal, lots of little yummy things to nibble on. It included sardines, anchovies, artichokes, asparagus, frittata and some zucchini & eggplant baked thing with ricotta and of course came with bread.
For the main event, the girls had the spaghettini with seafood, entree-sized. Portion was a good size, lovely fresh seafood (vongole, mussels, salmon and prawns) in garlic, chilli oil (with a reasonable kick). My 'significant other' had tortellini filled with chicken livers and served with fresh tomatoes which was just delish.
We had a very simple salad on the side of crunchiest iceberg (only the white parts) with a mustard dressing. I'm not usually a big fan of lots of mustard seeds, but these were crushed and matched the sweetness of the lettuce beautifully.
All finished off with a rather nice bottle of red.
Without a reservation on a Saturday night we were lucky to get in, well, we didn't quite get in - table outside on Smith street. Next time there is a pasta craving might have to return and enjoy the inside, real italian diner vibe.
