Historic restaurant family owned for generations. Amazing, authentic Italian food served in portions that will have us splitting next time. Dont let the dollar signs shy you away. If you share or if you have leftovers that last several meals, it is value added to incredible food. Make your reservations mid week. Simply one of the best in the city!

This was our first visit and overall we were quite pleased with all aspects. The food was superb!! My wife had scallops and I had sea bass which was just excellent! My wife will likely get sea bass next time. We will definitely be repeat customers.
