Amazing intimate restaurant with attentive service and equally delicious food. Caesar salad was rustic in a good way, gnocchi was heavenly, and they have my favorite liqueur, Italicus! The tiramisu is uniquely presented and amazing. Perfect spot for an understated anniversary dinner. Thank you, Mida!
