We had such a pleasant dinner. We ordered several tapas (fried goat cheese, stuffed red peppers, shrimp and tuna), and we both had pasta dishes( Malfadine al Nero and Papardelle with pork ragu) . Everything was very tasty and well cooked. Even the pasta was "al dente". A wonderfull approach to Italian food. Brian was very professional, helpful and kind. Ask for him for a better experience!!!!
