What a lovely trattoria. Great service from maitre’ d Seth, my server Alane and her support team. The food was excellent, gnocchi and polenta stole my heart as well as the authentic and mouthwatering puntarelle insalata. Approachable in all areas for the casual diner to the elegant wine savant. 10/10.

All food was wonderful….. Mezze platter, crouchettes, wine, paella, Catalan flan type dessert… disappointed though that no mint or herbal tea was on the menu or in the house. We had requested a city view… texted that it could not be guaranteed and ended up in the furthest back table away from any view. That was disappointing but the food was so good 👍
