Linguine con Vongole: Clams steamed in white wine, chilies, garlic & olive oil - 2 J's commnet > not bad; pasta al dente; sauce not creamy, but in spite of this, very flavorful, loved the dash of lemon that worked this time (but absolutely failed in Belgard Kitchen's risotto); huge clams, very fresh |

Duck confit ravioli w bruleed orange, brown butter - 2 J's comment > not bad; ravioli well cooked, soft in the center; didn't get much duck though, either in portion or in flavor |

Polenta fries w aioli - 2 J's comment > not bad; very lightly crisped edges but soft center; slightly dry without the aioli, but well done nonetheless; aioli was a good pairing |

Warm spiced fig cake w frangelico toffee sauce - 2 J's comment > cake was dense; trace fig flavor, but very strong toffee / caramel notes; sadly nowhere near as enticing as the one I tried during the 2014 DOV, just 9 mths ago |

Classic Bellini w peach juice, Prosecco - 2 J's comment > peach flavor not too strong, more of a fizzy water w a dash of Prosecco |

Coretto Freddo: Brandy, sugar, espresso, shaken - 2 J's comment > kinda like an iced coffee espresso, not too sweet; tasted exactly as described, notes of brandy w the bitterness of espresso |

Chocolate Decadence: Devil’s food cake w layers of bitter-sweet chocolate mousse covered in dark ganache, garnished w chocolate truffles - 2 J's comment > cake was from Trafiq; dense and chocolaty, slightly heavy but not rich; 'truffles' on top were kind of like a mealy, even denser chocolate portion of the cake; Siena was nice about the cake - no cake cutting fee if you cut the cake yourself, plates and forks provided (and candles too!) www.trafiq.ca/cakes |
