    Wonderful place to eat. Excellence sauces, al dente pasta, great service. White linen, candles, fresh flowers and a relaxed atmosphere. Louder than I remembered it from the past, though. Glad to see this fabulous restaurant reach its 50th anniversary!!!

    I recently visited the bar at this Italian restaurant, and I was absolutely blown away! The atmosphere is chic yet cozy, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing evening. The staff is incredibly professional and attentive, always ready with great recommendations for cocktails and Italian wines. I tried a Negroni that was perfectly crafted, and a glass of Chianti that instantly transported me to Italy. The selection of aperitifs is fantastic, and the authentic flavors of the small bites to pair with the drinks are a real treat. I highly recommend stopping by for a unique drink experience. I can’t wait to return! The bartenders here are true professionals—knowledgeable, friendly!
