We attended for an anniversary dinner. The staff was lovely and welcoming, especially our server, Eric. We had the arancini (delightful), cacio e pepe served tableside (a lovely presentation, and just enough for two to share), focaccia, olive oil cake and budino. Desserts were outstanding. We also each had a mocktail, which were delightful. Definitely a "special occasion" place (for us, due to the price point), but well worth it for a celebratory night.

When we arrived for our reserved time, no host/hostess was present for us to check in. However, multiple wait staff passed and let us know that someone would be with us soon. 10 minutes later, we(party of 2) were seated. We did request to sit outside, and they were happy to accommodate us. Our server was very sweet, but needed us to repeat our order several times and they were a little slow with bussing the table. The goosecakes and chilaquiles were very good, but the fried pimento cheese fritters won the ribbon!! Light and crisp on the outside, warm and creamy on the inside! Overall it was a great time! Sad to hear they are closing this location, but looking forward to Salazar reopening! Hope he takes the pimento cheese fritters onto a small plate menu at one of his other establishments!!
