“ The pasta and dessert were delicious! Not a lot of wine choices for a glass Very cosy atmostphere address ”
“ That’s a great Italian restaurant. Nothing unique here but fresh products, tasty, amazing service. There is not an extensive list of items on the menu but you’ll find what you love there. One of the particular thing at Epoca is that they serve gigantic dishes, it is super copious so be sure to be hungry. ”
“ Had a great lunch there. The food was excellent. It's a lovely cozy spot worth checking out. Easy reservation on zenchef via their website. We had the burrata and popetti to start. Also had the cacio peppe which were all delicious. ”
“ The food is absolutely brilliant - nothing to complain about. Service was ok but not super friendly imo, felt like we were intruding. ”
“ We found this place after a long day exploring on our way back to our hotel. The staff was lovely, welcoming when we had no reservation, and the atmosphere was beautiful. Then the food came and it took a lovely experience to a whole different level. We ordered the buratta, light, flavorful and refreshing, then the cacio e pepe, which was packed with incredible flavor from the Parmesan used and the amount of sauce alongside perfectly al dente pasta was delightful. The second main dish we had was the lemon linguini, and upon first glance, I honestly thought maybe I ordered wrong… then I had a bite and was instantly blown away- words cannot describe the amount of flavor in such a “simple” sounding dish. A beautiful meal, with exquisite flavor - bravo to the chef. Bellissimo. ”
“ Chanced upon this place. It’s exactly what we love - low key, cosy, chill vibes in the hood, excellent food and wine. Nothing touristy or over the top. Dog friendly too ”
“ Great food + great wine! Highly recommend stopping by -- they were so kind to seat us without a reservation. The octopus dish was one of the best preperations of octopus I've ever had. Highly recommend stopping by for a bite. ”
