Our server Natalia was attentive, energetic and extremely helpful. We started with the beet salad and calamari for appetizers followed by the Diavola pizza, pesto penne pasta with chicken and fettuccine alfredo with chicken. We topped it all off with the tiramisu and chocolate chip bread pudding. Everything was delicious… if you’re a fan of dessert though, the bread pudding is a must try!
