    Beautiful atmosphere hands down! Services was great and the vibe was amazing. The food..Brussel sprouts were delicious. Fritto misto was so so as the breading wasn’t crisp and I only had 2-3 shrimp. Very disappointing. Ravioli was so so. After sitting for a few moments it was tough to cut. Ordered gelato for dessert and it was okay. I’ve def had better. I’d definitely recommend for the ambiance, drinks and lite bite. Didn’t order an entree but I will def get pizza next time. The wood burning stove was fired up all night. Special added touch was the piano music. The pianist played some beautiful songs. Would def go again and explore the menu more!
