Amazing food and service. Wonderful a very nice Caesar salad followed by Braised Lamb Shank with a rich sauce and Tagliatelle Pasta. I had a chocolate mousse for dessert, so rich and delicious I will be remembering it for days to come. I also tasted the Potato Gnocchi with a Pesto Cream Sauce which was divine, I will be having that on our next visit. Staff is always attentive and personable. An enjoyable experience.
