    Feels like a great little Italian restaurant in NYC! The branzino did not disappoint, soft shell crabs were delicious, and pastas were wonderful. Impeccable service and nice to have valet parking.

    We celebrated Father’s Day last night, it was our first time in this restaurant, Omar, was more than a server, he guided us through the menu and his recommendations were excellent, the food and service were on point, cocktails, wine and desserts too, the ambiance was cool and festive. The only negative point is that the restaurant doesn’t have yet a license to sell liquors, so there’s only soft cocktails and wine available for your dining experience.

    First time coming here. We tried several different things on the menu, everything was very good and the price was very reasonable. Nice wine selection as well. Medium small place, comfortable atmosphere. We definitely will be back.

    I like slow service, but our waiter was missing for long periods of time (for example 20 minutes after we sat down before anyone asked if we wanted anything to drink other than water). Additionally, they brought the wrong food for my daughter and it took too long to fix it. Also, the macaroni and meatballs not well received. The sauce was weirdly sweet, and the meatballs was overcooked and dried out. Dessert was wonderful, but not enough to justify another visit.
