Hmmm... are they cheating people with Panchetta instead of Guanciale (shown on the menu) in their Carbonara? It was still very good.

The gnocchi are a creamy delight. The red snapper in a Mediterranean preparation, equally delicious. The ribs, ditto, and the halibut. All carefully prepared. Prices are reasonable. Service is friendly and attentive. And there is no rush to turn over your table. Bottom line: a very good restaurant, well worth your patronage. Enjoy.

The heat was not working. It was 58 degrees inside. They should not have opened. Most customers were eating while still wearing their coats. We all should have been offered some free hot drinks, but were not.

Very beautiful inside, good service, great drinks, and a lot of variety. Also very clean and great for dates. The food itself isn’t the most impressive when it comes to taste. But that does not mean its bad in any way.
