Really excellent food! All meant to be shared plates. Not huge portions so may need to order more than you think depending on appetite. Loved the sea bass and the burrata!

We had a party of 6 for dinner. The table was quite large to fit everyone with room. We had appetizers, main meal, and dessert. Everything had great flavor. The only downside was the server wasn’t as attentive as I would hope, we only had the one basket of bread and no one came to refill the water glasses or see if the drinks needed a refill. As for the dessert we really enjoyed the Tiramisu and Limoncello. Pricing is a bit on the heavy side but food was definitely delicious.
