    Calamari was succulent. Lightly breaded. Amazing. Special ravioli with lobster and crab wow. Spaghetti with clams, mussels, lobster, calamari so good. Meatballs so flavorful, perfect texture not too hard not too soft. Desert of limoncello cheese cake was excellent. Service impeccable. Great dining experience on Easter. Completely recommended.

    We had a lovely dinner. My husband had cavatelli and osso bucco and it was delicious. I had the agnolotti with veal and a pistachio sauce. Excellent food and service! Ambience and music was superb

    AMAZING! Great food and amazing environment. The steak tartar was to die for, one of the best I’ve ever eaten. I ate the long bone veal chop and it was great, the rest of the table ate pastas and I was notified they were also great. I couldn’t even take pictures of the main or apps because we started eaten them right as they arrived. Don’t even get me started on the desserts, they were rhetorical best of the best. For the special they had a carrot cake which was the best carrot cake I’ve ever had in my whole life, we also had the tiramisu- which overall I’m not a fan of tiramisu normally but this one was, again, amazing. We also had the strawberry (I think it was strawberry) dessert which had a mousse and a gelato which was again amazing. The limoncello (which was homemade) was the best I’ve had, and my mom who lived in Italy also agreed, it was homemade by the chef. Overall the experience was amazing and we are definitely coming back.
