what an amazing meal! we actually came here on a whim but I am so happy we happened to. everything was so fresh and perfectly prepared. we had the privilege to sit at the counter and watch the food get prepared - a plus! a perfect date night spot.
Great vibes in here and great food. Pasta is made in house and was very tasty. The lemon torte is fantastic and had a milk tea gelato which was also amazing (both made in house). The garlic bread is ~chefs kiss~, there was this hint of sweetness that was a nice touch. 4 stars because I have had better pasta but still overall incredible experience I have been here on more than one occasion and will for sure be coming back again to try some of their other starters. Spend ~65$ no drink and splitting 2 starters, 2 desserts and 2 pasta mains.

Another home run Italian spot in the city. Sitting at the bar is a vibe to watch the food being made. Can’t go wrong with any of the pasta dishes! And highly recommend their house wine for value and taste.

Stumbled into this place searching for some late night pasta. The pasta was impeccable

Giving 4 stars bc service was subpar. Food was amazing. Would come back and sit by the bar to avoid table service and solely enjoy the food. We arrived a couple mins late to our reso and apologised, acknowledged our tardiness and sped up our dining but there was 0 effort in our service. Server didnt ask if there was a special occasion, which, there was (it was my birthday), no questions about dietary restrictions nor allergies (which again, there was 1 vegetarian diner at our table) and 0 effort in walking us through menu/providing recommendations/providing insights on flavour profiles when we were trying to decide between 2 wines. Server also did not do quality check and didnt clear our sharing plates after our starters so the table felt cluttered during the mains. Luckily, we did love all the dishes we ordered and had no problems. I would come back but only because of the food. Im not sure if maybe subpar service is tolerated here bc vendetta already has an established reputation or what but service was not very hospitable. The starters were the main stars of the show, mains were not outstandingly impressive but i loved them still. The new potatoes and the cheesy garlic bread were out of this world. Thanks for the tasty food!

Honestly, this is what hospitality is all about. No fluff. No BS. Thoughtful and intentional service with enjoying your absolutely delicious, well seasoned meal in mind. Funky decor. Incredible. Get the beans!!!!!!!
Food was okay, beef tartare was a bit too salty for my liking and the pistachio potato dish needed something more than what came with it. Drinks were okay too but I’m assuming millennials go here for the vibe more than anything which is a solid 10/10

Is it Italian? Is it Tapas? Is it heaven? Who gives a shit. Get there, be prepared to sit at the bar, order a bottle of wine, crudo, some stracciatella potatoes, and finish with two pastas for you and your arm candy.
You’ll leave full and 24% more in love.
Skip dessert and jump right into that 2nd bottle of wine like we did if you want to have some real fun.
Enjoy!

Nice atmosphere, great music taste, cute decor. Shared an appetizer, had a main pasta and it was the perfect amount not too little or too much.
It is a small, cozy bar. If you live nearby, it will be a good choice for a quiet night. And the food was average.

Garlic bread, cocktail and wine were great! But for pasta, I've had better ones in other Italian restaurants
