  • Fat scoop gelato

    October 6, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 36 °C

    Gelato still better in Italy. Passion fruit was icy. Strawberry lavender tasted a bit like cherry cough syrup. Black sesame was ok. Small scoops for $6

  • Lulu’s

    October 6, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 37 °C

    Pretty good brunch. Crowded even at 3:30 pm

    Dad said baba’s breakfast had least amount of flavor but the tater tots and lamb sausage had flavor. Sausage just dry

  • Trattoria SantoPalato

    September 17, 2024 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

    Place needs reservations

    Meatball, tomatoes and peppers were good
    Tomatoes had lemon and parsley with a red wine vinaigrette possibly
    Meatball’s sauce tasted of celery more than peanut

    The beef for the ziti was a bit dry though dad liked the flavor

    Rigatoni tasted of Ragu and is pork based

    The spaghettoni was saucy and had crunchy bits of guancale. Dad liked it better than l’archangelo version.

    Firm pasta where the centers aren’t cooked through.

    Got cheese and cartilage pizza
    Chicory and roasted tomato
    Chicken and roasted peppers

    Best one was the chicken. Least favorite is the cartilage one as it reminded me of cilantro

    Dough was crunchy

    Got fried balls - classic which was best, carbonara, and potato and mozzarella

  • L’archangelo

    September 16, 2024 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    Got the four pastas including the risotto

    Risotto had strong mushroom porcini flavor

    The cod pasta was good with parsley, cured roe, lemon

    Carbonara was rich but not salty

    Chef was nice to plate out each dish rather than us sharing family style

    Very firm pasta - a bit hard like what google reviewers said

    Smokers outside made it hard to linger since smoke didn’t disappear from insideRead more

    Lavolosa - a bit bland but could taste some fennel

    Crunchy bread with olive oil poured on top
