    Great service and friendly staff. The stuffed flatbread with garlic and chrysanthemum salad is a must try. Lasagna and buffalo milk caramelle pasta were delicious. Chicken scarpiello and the shell steak with limone were cooked to perfection and flavorful.

    The staff was exceptionally well trained at providing information about the wines and courses. They were able to answer questions. They were cordial. They did a great job at bringing the food out at a good pace. As the evening went on, noise got a little more prominent but it was never loud on this Thursday evening. It was an excellent experience
