This restaurant is absolutely amazing. The food is consistently excellent, and the service is always first class.
What stands out most, is the kindness and patience shown by the young staff when I bring my two elderly friends, aged 92 and 94, for lunch. They go above and beyond to make sure these gentlemen are comfortable and cared for, treating them like kings. It means more than I can say. ❤️
The service is fenomenal, Rodrigo that works in the kitchen together with the other guys are doing a really good job there, everything is perfect and foor is unbelievable ❤️ I love it and recommend❤️
I had the chance to have dinner there the other day, and I must say, it’s a nice place. I had the pasta, the chicken, and a glass of wine — overall, a good experience. That said, it could have been elevated a bit. I didn’t receive the bread, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar that you usually get at Italian restaurants. Still, it’s a decent spot.
