In the heart of The Junction, Venga left me in awe of its Con Alici pasta. The dish was a true delight, featuring perfectly cooked spaghettoni coated in a silky olive oil and garlic sauce, adorned with plump anchovy fillets. The flavors were a perfect harmony of briny, savory notes. The quality of the ingredients was exceptional, with fresh anchovies that elevated the dish to new heights. The pasta itself was cooked to perfection, striking the ideal balance between firmness and tenderness. The service was impeccable creating a memorable dining experience. If you're a fan of Italian cuisine or simply seeking a taste of authentic flavors, I highly recommend trying this pasta.
