We felt like we were bothering him when asking questions about dishes and wine. It wasn't a very good experience, but that was because of the service from the waiter. Overall, great food and ambience.

Had an extended work meeting here, and their server was very mindful to check in (knowing that many lunches are in a rush), but without being the least bit pressuring. Tuna Carpaccio was excellent, as was the pasta. Good selection of Italian red wine by the glass as well. Would go back!
