What a spectacular restaurant. Service, food, wine couldn’t be any better. Highlights include the egg yolk ravioli with truffle sauce and shaved white truffle, the pappardelle al sugo - a rich and flavourful bolognese style sauce, the costelleta capriciosa (veal Milanese) best I’ve ever had, and the branzino. Have tried most things on the menu. The 3 season patio is magical and the staff is as good and attentive as I’ve ever encountered. The proprietor, David; the maître d, Elio; and the sommelier, Florian are all world class and amazing people. Could not recommend more highly

So glad this restaurant reopened and we finally had a chance to visit again. (Last time was pre-Covid.) Food was so good, good value, plus more relaxed, than Il Gattopardo, it’s “sister” restaurant nearby - also an excellent experience. We had lots of time to talk, did not feel rushed, the service was exceptional. Our friend remarked on how nice it was that the tables were not too close together. We look forward to returning.

Food, service and atmosphere lovely, a restaurant prefect for getting together with friends and being able to catch up with low noise level and refined but not stuffy environment.

    I absolutely loved the pasta-making experience at Aunt Jake’s! It was such a fun, unique, and memorable experience, and the meal was just as amazing as the class itself. Micah was hilarious and an incredible instructor who made the experience even more enjoyable. The entire serving staff was attentive, friendly, and so helpful throughout. The food was delicious, the experience was fantastic, and the overall value was outstanding. Highly recommend.
