★★★★★ Google Review“What a fabulous find. Modern Italian in an upscale setting. Attentive staff and quick service. Very extensive Italian wine list, and fabulous food. We shared the Beetroot Salad, Carpaccio Misto Di Mare aI Sapori Mediterrainei and the Octopus salad, which were all fantastic, bursting with flavors. I opted for the beef tenderloin from their chef’s specials menu and was not disappointed. Perfectly seasoned. And 4 deserts topped off a great night.”
