We had carpaccio for an appetizer and it was delicious. I had the fish special; grilled swordfish on a bed of mushroom risotto; it was immaculate. Both my companions had the chicken parmigiana. The portions were large and well cooked. The seasoning was very good and the sauce was delicious. For dessert we split the bread pudding. Possibly the best I’ve had.
