    Buvette goes rustic Italian. Everything is perfection from the outdoor seating to the cocktails. Don't miss the chopped steak.

    Came with a friend, sat outside and caught up over wine, oysters, pancetta, and chicken. All were insanely delicious. Wait staff was overly accommodating.

    Bustling wine bar with good outdoor seating for people watching whilst you sip. The towering plate of prosciutto is a stunner.

    I liked the arrancini a lot. The Pappardelle & Cacio Pepe were both really good too. I thought the service was mediocre.

    The taste is a bit on the salty side. I understand that more people may prefer that but I would personally recommend the other highly rated italian restaurants around here.

    As special as advertised by all the word of mouth. Try to visit at off hours. The waits are pretty rough.
