We came here for a Christmas work lunch and service was amazing. We felt attended to. The food was amazing, especially the octopus. I always have the Tartufo Nero pizza and it never disappoints. I would definitely choose this place again for an intimate dinner or a work lunch.

The male server’s behavior comes across as racist. If someone can’t embrace multiculturalism, they shouldn’t work in the hospitality industry.
