Our waiter was amazing! Food was delicious as always! This is our go to spot for a night out. They gave us champagne and a dessert to celebrate our anniversary.

Our meal was excellent: we started with calamari which was lightly fried, delicate and delicious. Our main course was chicken picatta- it was also yummy- and it was a lot of food. We shared a huge slice of moist, creamy Italian Cake for desert.

Our meal was delicious and our server, Paola, was wonderful! She was attentive and engaging, without being intrusive. We plan to be back soon.

Fantastic!! Great, innovative menu. Food perfectly prepared and presented. And delicious! Only downside is that it’s a bit loud inside. But that problem will be solved once the weather allows for outdoor dining. Looking forward to going back.
