Tredici, which is 'thirteen' in
Italian - represents the 13 shareholders. The place envisioned itself to be a
homey Italian restaurant to offer authentic Italian food, done the right and
proper way.
The
ambiance and decor was as praiseworthy as their food. Set up to be a what seem
to be a very rustic villa in Italy, with all those wood material applied
all over the interior, jazz music playing along, dim warm lighting and simply
the whole little trinkets. Decked out in blue and white with light wood and
faux grass covering one wall, it possesses all the elements of a
laid back chic restaurant.
WNJ first arrival was awesome,
Stella, one of the owners kindly took us around the place. The place was very nice. Stella also told us
that the owners wants this place to be more like a small villa in Italy, where
the ambience is really warm and just exactly like Tredici wants us to feel. The
outdoor area is not exactly outdoor, it is more like the area with more access
to the natural light. So, you don’t have to worry when the rain comes, you
won’t be wet ;)
As for the menu, they have
Italian, off course! Every customer who came will get their Complimentary
Bread. The bread was homemade by Tredici, you must have them while they're
still warm, the cheese stick is very tasty, the bread is also great and crunchy.
The basket portion came with pesto sauce
for dipping, which was really good for a starter.
After we had our complimentary bread, we had Tortellini Di
Zucca; pumpkin tortellini, mushroom, sausage, butter sage sauce. It is a
typical Christmas dish, but most Italian people love it throughout the whole
winter with the wonderfully thick-fleshed, orange-red pumpkin.
When it comes to Italian, then there always be risotto, try
their Arancini Balls; Italian risotto balls, contains turkey, mushroom, truffle
oil, coated with breadcrumbs and deep fried, comes with marinara sauce. A different way to enjoy risotto, Yummy!
Pizza! Tredici made their Mare Pizza very good. It is a thin crust pizza topped with mozzarella
cheese, with the tomato sauce, squid, shrimp, mussels, and the green olives. This
restaurant cooks their pizzas the Italian way in a wood fire oven.
The must try dessert here is; Crespella Nocciola, a homemade
crepe with banana brulee, hazelnut chocolate, and vanilla gelato.
For more information, they also have turkey menu, Tacchino
Delle Feste; turkey steak, with brandy
cream gravy and homemade blueberry jam, goes with stewed vegetable and mashed potato.
And also one of their signature menu; Costole Di Maiale Alla Trentina, it’s
grilled pork chops with apple mustard sauce, potato gratin, and sauteed season
vegetables.
Oh ya, they also have a bar upstairs, namely 13 Monkeys with
Carson Quinn as the consultant. This one you should check out also!
All Italian goodness are here, the ambiance and decor was as
praiseworthy as their food, so what are you waiting for?
