    Second visit to the Restaurant and the food and service were of high quality. Again the starter of Antipasto Italiano with Burrata was the highlight, so fresh and delicious. Branzino & Puttanesca was a good choice for a main dish and did not disappoint. A lovely experience overall, helped in no small part with the attentive service from Tatiana. La Norma should be on your list if visiting LBK.

    Definitely worth a stop in this nondescript little restaurant. Pizzas are great, but the highlight was the Puttenesca pasta with Bronzino. Great value, fresh bread, and a very attentive waitress, even if she was handling the entire 20-person dining room by herself.

    Excellent dinner with family! Juan was a fabulous server, the menu had so many delicious choices and excellent wines. The beautiful owner came to our table to check on us, and we had a nice conversation. The food was exceptional. The veal saltimbocco was one of the best I've had, the ravioli was perfect. The chicken piccata and veal marsala were delicious. We will definitely be back on our next visit to LBK! This is a must-try restaurant.
