Went in solo as my first time dining here and I have to say, I can understand why this place is rated so highly! The decor and the lighting of the place is amazing. The staff are very attentive and the food is outstanding! Had the Homemade Ricotta, Arancini and Spicy Vodka and all of them were very delicious. I will definitely be here again.
