An all around great dining experience. The food, service, and atmosphere are all exceptional. My wife and I both ordered from the prix fixe menu. She had the Talapia, I had the chicken, and we both had the house salad. Everything was excellent and some of the best Italian that we've had in the city, which is a very lofty task. The Cheesecake and Tiramasu were also 👌. The service was friendly, perfectly attentive, and efficient.

We went there for breakfast with a friend and brought our toddler along. Generally going somewhere with a toddler can be stressful but not here! The staff is the loveliest ever and we enjoyed a relaxing meal while our toddler had a best time of her life thanks to the staff that were so kind to her. Toddler dreams coming true aside, the food was delicious and the ambiance quiet and relaxing - we got to catch us with our friend without worrying about having to tell to be heard or bump into other patrons.
