I loved this place!! The wonderful man in my life brought me here for the first time the other night, and It was a wonderful little place. The atmosphere, people, staff members, and ambiance were simply wonderful!! The food is so good, and the portions are no joke, I ordered the Lobster Fettuccine, and it was so delicious. I was able to eat a good amount, take the rest home. I did try to Tiramisu, and I felt like I was in HEAVEN!! It was silky, delicious, not too overpowering, and just melted in my mouth. I 100% recommend this place. Perfect for a first date, night out, or family dinner. 🥰
