The fried cauliflower alone is worth going back for. The fresh pasta that we all had was perfection and the salad prima Vera was the best.

This is a gem of a restaurant. The interior is so beautiful, the views are stunning, and the ambience is lovely and warm. The green salad was a fan favorite at our table, the beef fillet was cooked to perfection, and the black sesame cake was surprising and delightful. My group was gathered for a small wedding shower. I can’t speak highly enough of our server, Michele, who helped me set up our table beautifully before everyone arrived. She also took note of the bride and bride’s names and surprised us at the end of our meal with a complimentary dessert inscribed with a congratulatory message.
