This place is awesome in an awesome location. Everything is fresh and authentic. The service is out of this world! The waitress would come over and pour or bottle of wine they even answered any questions we had. The owner came up to our table and greeted us! This place felt homey in an area that has changed so much over the years. I would definitely recommend this for any date night, out with friends or a family outing.

This place amazed me. The food was amazing. We went for lunch but the chef was kind enough to still make the octopus for us and it was GREAT. From the appetizers to the main course was finger licking good. The tiramisu was great!!!
