    The food is phenomenal. The atmosphere is lovely. Each dish has its own flavor profile, the flavors are amazing, the quality and presentation is amazing. A meal I dream about until the next time we go back. Love the Oxtail Stew, the meat platters are fantastic. The tissue bread, the artichokes, the mussels are all fantastic. And desserts are out of this world.

    Our server Luis was fantastic. Not only was he kind, but also very considerate in many aspects - making sure we don’t miss the last order before kitchen closes, getting us an extra bag for leftover boxes before we ask, and etc. Small things but that make you feel you’re being taken care of. Food was great in taste, as well as in portion that makes the price very reasonable. Very satisfying from starting bread to calamari appetizer, main pasta dish, and tiramisu dessert. The only thing that I wish to be better is coffee - had espresso & americano, and they both were missing a bit of flavor. Still quite decent, but not the best I’d say. I’d love to visit again to try other dishes I wanted to have!!
