    Food was quite good. The service was excellent, our waitress had impeccable timing and a very understated approach, but always made sure we were doing well. The squash flowers were excellent. The mussels sauce was superb although the bread underneath made it initially look like more mussels. However, that toasted bread with the sauce was a crunchy savory treat. We also had the Agnolotti - a stuffed dumpling that had a soft cheesy interior, very good with a little balsamic glaze dribbled over. The striped bass was also tasty - the sauce that the beans were in had a light subtle flavor.
