    Food was phenomenal as always. Highly recommend the crostini and meatball apps. The pasta is outstanding and desserts are simple but outrageous. One of our favorite spots.

    Easily our new favorite restaurant. Menu has such depth with the different offerings. Not many places you can have tripe for appetizer, gnocchi with duck ragu for dinner and a chocolate/strawberry/pistachio spumoni tartufo for dessert. Great quality food from appetizers to desserts. Very nice to see a friendly face in Ricardo as waiter. Everything is expensive these days and this meal definitely was not cheap - but never mind paying for quality. A very memorable meal… will definitely not mind taking the ride to that side of island for dinner.
