Osteria da Mamma Carla In

16/12/2025: Beautiful venue, with soft lighting, a vast menu to match a varied cocktail list, truly well-prepared. The food is clearly designed to maximize flavors, in their simplicity, using excellent ingredients. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options. A great experience, beyond expectations! Oh, I correct myself. They added a cocktail we didn't drink to the bill, so an extra 8.50 on an already high bill. There was no confusion at the time, so the girl at the cashier just wanted to be smart.

07/12/2025: Another great discovery this evening. This LIME is a true journey around the world, but done well. Similar recipes can be found around, but the difference lies in the way the dishes are presented. In this case, I tried four different dishes (Thai rice, BBQ quesadillas, Russian stroganoff, and a US sandwich bun) and sampled my partner's (chicken katsu). All were satisfying, varied, and balanced. Frankly, I can't wait to go back and take a different kind of world tour :) The selection is wide but not overwhelming (this probably helps maintain proper time management for each dish). You can choose between a "full plate" and a "half plate." That "half plate" is actually a nice portion and allows you to combine multiple choices. Side note: I also noticed a certain "harmony" between dishes from different regions, a choice I appreciated when you don't want to "mix too much." The meal ended with an excellent apple crumble with vanilla ice cream, a sweet crunch for a fitting conclusion. To drink, for me, a mango Caipirinha. The beverage selection is also plentiful. That's fine. Thumbs up.
