The food was delicious and the service wonderful, as always. However, I was a bit disappointed that they were out of a few items that we usually order. We always start with the mussels frites, but not this time. They were out of them. Instead we ordered the calamari, which was delicious and tender, but not what we were planning on and looking forward to. For the main course we all ordered pizzas, which were delicious and the main reason we come. For dessert we would have ordered 3 tartufos, but they only had 2, which is what our waiter told us they had started the evening with, so I guess we were lucky to get those. They were also out of tiramisu. We also had an order of chocolate chip cookies and our waiter was nice and added a couple of extras to the plate so that there were enough for everyone to share. We would definitely return here, but it would be nice if they weren’t out if so many of our favorite menu items.
