    It was beyond describable. Everything was on point. The place is sexy, the service was outstanding, Zacarías. The drinks were on point and the menu was very well thought out. Focaccia was to die for. Squash blossoms with ricotta exploding with flavor. Anchovies with green salsa, delicious Veal chop with arugula, perfect Home made pastas were ridiculously good. The desserts were crazy. Evan Funke has knocked it out of the park!
