The food was so delicious and the music was great. I had the best Italian experience ever. Our server Eva was great, she’s always smiling and happy to serve you and advise you. Will come back for sure
The restaurant was incredible. Every pasta dish was made to perfection, and the tomato sauce was excellent. It wasn’t too sweet or too acidic. It had a really balanced, flavorful taste. The free bread basket with honey butter was honestly some of the best bread I’ve ever had.
