    I could dine here daily because the food and service was just that great. Molto bene! Besnik was just as entertaining as he was informative! We had the best time. There was a wedding there this evening and the house was full inside so the noise level was pretty high. Otherwise, perfecto!

    Excellent food and service. The ambience is outstanding. The noise level was very high as there was an engagement in the room adjacent to us. Otherwise, everything was perfect.
