AI summary of what 5 dish mentions say about the food
Reviewers consistently crown the vegetarian ravioli as the standout, praising its delicate, satisfying filling. The overall vibe is one of cozy, elevated comfort, where refined dim sum meets a welcoming, unpretentious neighborhood bar atmosphere.
“These green vegetarian ones are cute, but I don't remember them for a reason — probably because I didn't like them. They're soft and take the shape of water, with spinach, carrots, and other stuff I'd never eat as a kid. Not satisfying like the others. The guilt goes away, but it's not a pleasant experience. It tastes like a slap in the face, like a reproach. I don't like it much.”

Baozi al vapore con maiale
These steamed buns with pork are insane. The dough is incredible, really soft and fluffy. The pork filling is compact and well-seasoned, with a light garlic and vegetable kick. Each one is a journey. I'd drown myself in these ravioli, honestly. They're my favorite of the bunch.
Ravioli al nero di seppia con gamberi
These black squid ink ravioli with shrimp are very interesting. I really liked them. The shrimp pops in your mouth, and the clam on the other side creates a beautiful harmony of fireworks. It's like Ace of linguine alle vongole, but better than the ones in Corfu. The texture is amazing.

Ravioli al pollo e gambero con uova di pesce
These yellow ones have chicken, shrimp, and fish roe on top. There's the lifted consistency of the chicken on one side, but also a little pop and crunch from the roe and the outer skin. It's cute, light, and mild. I'd dip it in soy sauce to give it a little kick.
