I’ve not been here for a bit so this dining experience was a shock. Something has changed in the atmosphere, staff and menu. Just different, many little details, portion size was quite small for the price tag. Good Luck with all the new restaurant rising up around you. Sad to see.

We had a lovely experience dining at San Morello after attending a Tiger game. Starting at the bar…Olivia was an amazing bartender. So professional, friendly and competent. Truly a gem. Our waiter, Christian was super friendly and also very competent. The sommelier was super helpful in picking out a bottle of wine. The food was honestly out of this world. We shared the lamb meatballs, the focaccia and the ravioli. It was a perfect meal for two. Love the addition of the spritz bar, although we didn’t partake.
