Villa Boga review: our verdict
Behind a façade that reveals nothing, Villa Boga opens onto a bar and an Art Deco dining room with Mediterranean accents, where several servers await you from the door. In the evening, a singer and a DJ set the tone, and you can stay until 2:30. The house also has memories: thirty years ago, people came here for its house-made salad, the Boga salad, and then for the orange crepe for dessert.
Good choice for a business dinner that needs to impress or a night out with friends that wants to stay late without changing venues, cocktails like the Chéri Chéri included. In the kitchen, it's more hit or miss: a well-executed lamb and a truffle pizzeta on certain evenings, or overcooked meat or overly salty pasta on others. Gourmets who come to judge the plate, and nostalgics of the salad of yore, risk leaving disappointed.
The right slot: dinner, with music, when the bar fills up. The trap: betting everything on the menu, as cooking and seasoning vary from service to service.
