Great addition to the Highwood dining scene. Attentive service and excellent food.
The cioppino features a rich, hearty tomato sauce with perfectly cooked seafood, delivering bold, satisfying flavors. The halibut special is equally impressive, served in a buttery sauce that complements the flaky fish beautifully. To top it off, the tiramisu is authentic and decadent, with just the right balance of creamy mascarpone and espresso-soaked ladyfingers. A fantastic spot for authentic Italian flavors and exceptional dishes!
My only criticism was the choice of music. They were playing Coldplay the entire evening, and although I like Coldplay, it didn't fit the style or vibe of the restaurant.
