Tried Trullo on Saturday night, new Italian place from the Purlieu owners in the spot where Involtini was in Oakridge.
Bigger and louder room than Purlieu, but as my wife said it suits the cuisine. The menu is really "polished" Italian and it is pretty tight. Four pastas, four appetizers, four meat dishes from what I remember. Some pizza/flatbread options. Everything we had we very tasty and good portion sizes, which for me is not huge. Just the right amount rather than a mountain of pasta. Service was pretty on the ball for the first month. Tables and chairs were comfy.
The cocktail I had I would put in the top 10% of what I have had in Calgary. Just a stellar Boulevardier. They also had a nice Montepulciano by the half litre.
All in all, a nice "suburb" night out. They were suitably busy and I'm hoping they catch on as it is nice to have nearby options. Especially since Goose went out of business.
