YES. Razza is great. Get the chickpea dish! Do not go to Corto though. So much potential yet such bland and poorly cooked food.

You got downvoted a bunch for this, but I have had some fantastic meals at Corto, yet also some absolutely terrible ones as well- consistency is a real issue there. We went on a holiday weekend in 2021, either July 4th or labor day, and it was like they just forgot the salt... in everything. Another time, we had the chocolate cake, and it appears they used fish sauce instead of whatever oil they typically used- it was... gross. Another time they hyped up a smoked pork dish, and I love bbq'ed pork, and it was extremely dry, it would have been better used to resole my shoes. Less extreme is that the chicken diablo or whatever the specific name is can go from "taco bell spicy" to "omg more water please ASAP".
On the other hand, when its on, its on, and is one of the best places in JC. The only others that rival are Ondo- which I am shocked has not blown up yet, the food, drinks and ambience are amazing, and its not even that expensive, and the new Madame was great the two times I went as well. Both are pushing the envelope to new places.

I don’t even know where to begin with how my food tasted. The most disappointment was the pasta. Figured you can’t mess that up but the texture was akin to reheating pasta in the microwave. Rubbery at the exposed parts and tender in others. I guess I could try again in a different season.
Yeah the down votes suck. Ha!
