Hippo

Happy hour at Hippo turned out to be the perfect introduction to this exceptional Italian restaurant. The carefully curated menu offers diverse and inventive dishes that showcase both traditional Italian influences and creative global inspirations. The standout dish was undoubtedly the Indian-inspired striped sea bass - a masterful fusion that perfectly balanced bold spices with the delicate fish. The complex flavor profile created a truly memorable dining experience that would alone warrant a return visit. Their pasta offerings showcased authentic Italian craftsmanship. The spaghetti delivered classic comfort while the Duck Ragu demonstrated their skill with richer, more complex flavors. The Brussels sprouts offered a perfect complementary side with their savory depth. No meal is compl

Parking can be difficult,only street parking either free or meter. However check street signs meter maybe free as well. Hostess was kind, professional, and helpful. We were a group of 6 with an 8:30 reservation ( reservations highly recommended) arrived approximately 30 min early, and waisted for our 8:30 seating. Table was ready by 8:30 , give +/- 10 min. Server was also kind and professional. Ordered drinks, mixed review from group regarding the cocktails ordered, one ordered Sábado Picante, too sweet, mai tai no flavor ( according guest). Food: reviewers dish- herbed ricotta tortelloni, was disappointed, no wow factor, portion was small as well ( didn't expect a mountain of pasta, but just felt small portion) Wife ordered the fish dish, said it was good but again nothing special, othe

Totally enjoyed dinner with my mom last night. As much as I wanted to give a perfect rating, I must say that the inside of the resto can get very, very loud. It was somewhat difficult to have a conversation without asking them to repeat what they were saying. Regardless of that, the service was decent and the food is AMAZING. At first, my mom and I thought the pasta serving was too tiny but we got full eventually and left the place with happy bellies.

Came for a Friday nite dinner with friends, 90 percent of what we got was fabulous, leaving me wanting to order the same thing over and again, great starter menu. My friend who ordered the steak has to send it back but I loved my striped bass. The cauliflower was our favorite and my 7 years old nephew licked the plate of the duck ragu…. The sea scallops were so tender and scrumptious!

This has to be on my top list of restaurants ever! The food is a gastronomical delight of intense deep savory flavors! We had the sweet salty rolls that just melt in your mouth scrumptious, the freshest of hamachi crudo, richest duck ragu, & the perfectly seared tender steak. Just absolutely the most orgasmic symphony of flavors! Our server @ the bar was the bartender whom took excellent care of us. The vibe, decor & service was hip & superb! Def will return & a recommendation!
