What a pleasant experience for our first time. The food was excellent and the assistance provided by our waiter SEYMOUR exceeded our expectation. The best pasta in town, al denté and the sauce was scrumptious. Mouth watering! The Valentina mocktail as suggested was perfect for us who don’t drink alcohol. And I didn’t think I’d taste Tiramisu that good. Highly recommended!
