Had a great dinner here as usual. All the food and the service is top notch here. Last night we sat outside and had bronzino and the pork rib special. We shared the special appetizer of grilled calamari, shrimp and more. Everything was cooked perfect and delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant as one of the best in Boca.
