We heard about this restaurant on social media and booked it some time ago. We absolutely loved the food! We had a meatball sub combination appetizer (garlic bread + ricotta cheese + pickled onions) which was amazing. This was followed by a ravioli which was delicious and perfectly seasoned. Main course was trout and steak which were done to perfection! Last but not least was the tiramisu which was divine. Our seating was at the bar area and our bartender was friendly and very knowledgeable. Loved every minute of our evening and would recommend to everyone! Delicious meal, friendly people and quaint cosy vibe!

The hostess was quite accommodating with where we were comfortable to be seated and that was greatly appreciated. Our waiter, Luis, was extremely attentive and most helpful with his fantastic recommendations. All of our appetizers, main courses, and desserts were brought out in timely and professional manner. Delightfully Delicious - was every morsel! Thank you Luca! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
