Our waiter was not good and for that reason we didn’t have a great experience as we have always had in the past.

I've been looking forward to coming to this restaurant for a long time after hearing how highly rated it was. Unfortunately, I was disappointed by the taste of the food. It was very mediocre and honestly a little bit bland. I was with the party of 10 and we all order different items off the menu, but it was the same consensus all around that the food was just lacking flavor. The restaurant itself is very beautiful and it did create a nice ambience, but I would recommend trying another restaurant in Little Italy .
