Excellent food and service. We were there for a family birthday celebration, the second time this year. Aldo, plus the support staff, did a wonderful job. The downstairs dining room is quieter and less crowded than upstairs but our group of 7 had no problem carrying on conversations across the table. in either room. Recommend saving room for tiramisu for dessert even if it's just one to share around the table.
