    I made a reservation of 4 and the service was outstanding. The food exceeded our expectations, kudos to the chef for crafting such exquisite dishes. The polpette di carne - was delectable. The salmon crusted with crab meat served with shrimp and the pappardelle al vino rosso - WOW!! WOW!!! Our initial server, Raul, was exceptional, attentively accommodating our numerous requests with remarkable memory and professionalism. Midway through our meal, Franco took over and continued the high level of attentive service, ensuring our dining experience remained seamless. We are already planning our next visit, eager to relive the exceptional cuisine and service that made our evening so memorable.

    We had a fantastic meal and a really fun night! The staff are all friendly, and chatting with them only added to our enjoyment. The sommelier is generous with his time and wine, answering our questions and offering tastes. We had a bunch of dishes, not a one of them missed the mark - I recommend the crudo, parm bites, monkey bread, and lemon pasta!
