ALSO FILED
“tiramisu at Bonterra is absolutely divine layers of coffee soaked ladyfingers with light airy mascarpone dusted with cocoa. paired with their house espresso its the perfect meal ender”
“wine list is surprisingly limited for an italian place only a handful of italian stuff and nothing special or unique enough to justify the markup over a wine shop”
“weekend brunch here is actually amaazing the eggs benedict has perfectly poached eggs wiht runny yolks that coat the canadian bacon adn hollandaise with just enough lemon to cut the richness”
“mimosas are tiny and cost $12 for basically a shot of prosecco with splash of oj”
“the seafood risotto had perfectly cooked prawns scallops and mussels that tasted super fresh. rice was creamy without being mushy and you could tell the stock was made from actual shellfish soo good”
“the salmon special was not fresh at all smelled fishy and the texture was flaky in that frozen too long way”
“ok but teh house made pappardelle had that perfect al dente bite you only get with fresh pasta and the sauce clung to every piece without being heavy. each bite had ideal texture balance”
“for real teh tiramisu was sad and soggy the ladyfingers just turned to mush and lost all structure nuff said”
“tehir burger game is surprisingly good for an italian place thick juicy patty bun holds everything together hand cut fries crispy outside fluffy inside. honestly great beer selection too”
“tap system HAD issues tho my first beer came out flat and had to be replaced killed teh vibe when youre craving that perfect burger and beer combo”
“Bonterra's cacio e pepe made my italian heart sing they actually get it less is more letting the pecorino adn pepper shine not drowning it in cream like everyone else. pasta texture was perfect cheese was clearly quality”
“def but 22 dollars for pasta cheese adn pepper even when its perfect feels excessive for a neighborhood trattoria smh”
“textures in their mushroom risotto were absolutely perfect EACH grain had the right bite contrasting with the silky creamy base adn meaty chewiness of the mushrooms. temp was spot on still steaming when it came”
“bruschetta appetizer sucked tho bread was tough and chewy instead of crispy tomatoes on top were watery and cold made everything mushy and gross”
