From the amuse-bouche to dessert, fabulous in every bite. The wait staff was attentive and informative. Pork shank and brisket were phenomenal. While I didn’t eat it, my family raved about the octopus ceviche. 100% would return.

A beautifully designed restaurant with a wonderful staff and fabulous food. One of the best in the Palmilla area. Don’t miss the sashimi appetizer platter with Salmon, Hamachi and Blue Fin Tuna. Amazing. Thank you Geovanni for Zenna and Il Splendido. Two of the best restaurants we have experienced during our vacation!

From the moment you walk in, you’re in a happy place! Beautiful decor and vibe, absolutely amazing food (we enjoyed the 20 course omakase and had soooo many favorites in it) and truly kind and wonderful staff- every one of them. Really wish this restaurant were in the Bay Area so I could go back more often!!!!
