    This restaurant never disappoints. Everything about it is just right. The food, the service, the vibe. I had noted in the rez that we were celebrating an engagement and we were welcomed with sparkling wine when we sat down. So lovely!

    Excellent service. And wow - amazing food. Loved the pasta dishes and everything was fresh and seasoned well. Definitely keeping it on my list of places to go. Plus the interior was so cute. 5/5 recommend for a date night or just really good meal.

    The service last night was much slower than expected. The room was packed and much too loud. And it was freezing inside.
