    In addition to the great food, we had a wonderful experience thanks to our waiter Gio. He heard me mention that it was a dinner for my mother's birthday and he treated her like a queen - a glass of prosecco and a surprise dessert. This was already one of our go to places but now it's even higher on our list of great places to go on the island. We personally love the chicken parm!

    Very reasonable prices and even if the prices were higher the food would still be worth it. Much better food quality than some more expensive places I’ve been to in the Island. Service was great, wine list not extensive but enough for any meal pairing. Would go back again.
