First time eating here and the food tasted great. The service was excellent. Only complaint is the noice level was very high in the bar area that we were seated in. Hard to talk to each other. We had meatballs and arancini’s for apps. Chicken Milanese for main and cannoli and tiramisu for dessert. All were excellent.
