Hyacinth is a charming restaurant serving new Northern Italian cuisine. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with friendly and attentive staff. The food is delicious, featuring a range of dishes from starters like fried olives, roasted carrots with ricotta & pesto, and flatbread to mains such as mezze maniche carbonara and hangar steak with a cognac peppercorn sauce. A recent highlight was Wild Acres Chicken Tonnnato, a twist on a Milanese classic with tender chicken, a sharp creamy dill sauce, and fresh sautéed green beans. The risotto al salto, a crispy risotto pancake, continues to receive praise, though some suggest ordering smaller portions for a family-style experience. The menu is small but thoughtfully curated, with flavorful pastas, including cacio e Pepe bucatini and linguini, and a variety of appetizers and mains.
The restaurant offers a variety of house-designed cocktails, including the haselhoff cocktail made with hazelnut gin, serpoul thyme liqueur, and besk, along with classic cocktails and an extensive list of amaros and vermouths. The wine list is limited but nice, and non-alcoholic options are available. Service is attentive and friendly, though some guests have noted it can be a bit slow at times. The space features high ceilings, which can make it quite lively and noisy, but the cozy patio out front provides a quieter option for dining. Reservations are recommended due to the small size of the restaurant. Overall, Hyacinth offers a memorable dining experience with seasonally fresh dishes, beautifully presented food, and a comfortable upscale atmosphere.
