This experience was 3 star in every way. The service staff was gracious, attentive and helpful. Bread and breadsticks immediately served in true italian style. My cacio e pepe was cooked perfectly, al dente and with a sauce that was not at all gooey or pasty but rather light and sapporito. My caciatore was likewise prepared perfectly blending all tastes well. An overrall excellent experience
