Music too loud! Terrible. Why softer and gentle music instead of bombarding tour ears

Spicy Rigatoni? Perfection in a bowl. The vodka cream sauce is rich and velvety, and the crispy pancetta adds a delightful crunch. It’s got just the right amount of spice to keep you coming back for more. I’ve officially found my comfort food!

Pistachio Bliss lives up to its name—pure bliss! The creamy texture and rich pistachio flavor made every spoonful a treat. It’s the perfect dessert to end an amazing meal. I’m still dreaming about it!

The Diavola Pizza is a fiery delight! The Calabrese salami brings the heat, and the melted mozzarella balances it out perfectly. If you like your pizza with a spicy kick, this one’s a must-try. Delicious and full of flavor

The Charred Octopus is a masterpiece! Tender, smoky, and paired with a creamy ceci purée, it’s a dish that’s both comforting and luxurious. The salmoriglio sauce added just the right zing to brighten every bite. Can’t wait to have it again

Yesterday, I tried the Espresso Martini, and wow... It was the pick-me-up I didn’t know I needed! The perfect blend of strong espresso and smooth vodka, with that creamy finish. Honestly, it’s a coffee lover’s dream, just with a little more spirit.

The Faroe Island Salmon was a symphony of flavors. Grilled to perfection, flaky, and tender, with that light salmoriglio dressing—it tasted like a seaside escape. The broccolini side dish was a crunchy bonus!

Rustic Pizza is simplicity at its finest. The burrata melted in my mouth, and the prosciutto added the perfect salty kick. Add the fresh arugula and balsamic glaze? Chef’s kiss! Will I be back for more? Absolutely.
