Such a lovely experience. Old-school service like no one does anymore. So attentive. So professional. Mr Dominic himself came to greet every table, and even sang to a woman for her birthday, in Italian. Great Cesar salad, Arancini appetizer, linguine with clams, veal cannelloni (husband loved this), limoncello martini, and DELICIOUS chocolate martini (no cream version). Perfect elegant anniversary dinner out. Can’t wait to go back.
