A lovely lunch experience for a Saturday afternoon. Even though the restaurant was busy it was not noisy at all. Our server was very friendly and attentive. The drinks were mixed perfectly and delicious (a mezcal cocktail and spicy cherry margarita). Appetizer (fried artichoke) was very fresh and came out fast. Entrees were delicious (chicken con Pollo, and pasta bolognese). The Nutella cheesecake was superb. The whole experience was great. Would definitely return.

I enjoyed my gnocchi and Cesar salad for dinner. My husband wasn’t in love with the chicken parm panini and said next time he’ll try a pizza instead. Overall it was a great dinner and we’ll be back, but stick to more of their better known specialties.
