    A gift certificate from a friend brought us to this wonderful Italian restaurant. The beauty of the decor was very inviting and every staff member we encountered greeted us with a smile and welcomed us. The service from our waitress was great and attentive. We split an arugula salad that had cherries, blood oranges and pistachios with a big serving of burrata in the center. It was wonderful and fresh. Our entree was the stuffed filet that was spectacular, flavorful and mouthwatering. We then shared a cannoli and a chocolate mousse dessert that had cherries, whip cream and a sprinkle of mint leaves shavings. Both were awesome. We will definitely be back to enjoy this new favorite in the near future. I highly recommend you try Safina!
