Will Mallqui A Rewarding Hidden Neighborhood Find
Behind a modest 1970s brick facade lies an inviting trattoria that consistently surpasses expectations with exceptional food and warm hospitality.
What an incredible example of under promise, over deliver!! We have walked past this restaurant so many times as we live locally, but never considered due to its street appeal. But if you can see past the 70s bricks, it’s a rare find.
Lisa R Thoughtful, Heartfelt Hospitality
Diners experience immediate, thoughtful attention from welcoming staff who effortlessly facilitate special occasions and spontaneous visits alike.
Food was great staff were lovely. When the bar man delivered our drinks he heard us cheers our anniversary and after dinner the waitress bought us complementary ice cream with the message written in chocolate sauce. What a lovely gesture.
