    The ink pasta was overwhelming fishy and the fettuccini was outstanding. The desserts were the winner of the night. The lamb meatballs was the other winner of the night. The ricotta app just didn’t have much flavor. The focaccia was delicious. It was a hit or miss on certain dishes. The drinks were good. Price point was a bit high for the caliber of food. Don’t get me wrong I would go back. The server was good.
