Excellent restaurant with vibrant, enthusiastic and friendly staff. Food was very good, particularly the chicken and duck meals. My wife was a little disappointed with her pizza, however she is a pizza connoisseur and difficultto please. The desert, the cannoli was fantastic. Could change ones religion. So good.
