Antipasti to Begin
We started with the Pacific Oysters served with a classic mignonette and lemon—simple, fresh, and brimming with that briny sweetness you expect from top-tier oysters. Each one was a delicate morsel of the sea, enhanced perfectly by the tangy mignonette.
Next, we dug into the Calamari Fritto Misto—crispy and tender squid paired with a zesty aioli, a squeeze of fresh lemon, and a tangy Italian slaw. The calamari was light and perfectly fried, not greasy in the least, and the slaw brought a lovely crunch and freshness to balance out the dish. It’s clear that Ooh Baby! knows how to make a small plate sing.
Hearty Mains
The Gnocchi Bolognese arrived next, and let me tell you, this dish is comfort food at its finest. The gnocchi was pillowy soft, absorbing the rich veal mince and napoli sauce in every bite. The meat sauce had just the right amount of depth, with a subtle sweetness and a hearty, satisfying finish. It’s a perfect dish for anyone who craves an Italian classic done right. Plus, the cheese! To die for!
We also sampled the Bistecca del Giorno—the steak offering of the day. Served with a side of broccolini, the steak was the star of the show, supremely tasty, paired with a simply but no less delicious side salad and some excellently done shoestring fries.
Sweet Finale
To finish off the meal, we couldn’t resist trying the Cannoli—a quintessential Italian dessert. The pastry was crisp and delicate, filled with a smooth, sweet ricotta filling that had just the right amount of sweetness to make you smile with every bite. A healthy sprinkle of pistacchio was the best decision on Ooh Baby!’s part, making it the perfect end to a memorable meal.
Ooh Baby! offers more than just a great meal; it’s an experience. Whether you’re indulging in their chef’s selection menu or customizing your event with canapés, grazing tables, and drinks packages, this restaurant is perfect for any occasion.
