    We ate the sliders as an app and they were excellent as usual— main coarse was lamb chops which were plentiful and delicious— i had the Halibut for the hell if it— absolutely delicious- the best anywhere- the permanent “special”

    Everything was very nice only issue is by 7:15 the restaurant was sold out of Bronzino, which clearly is a popular item and they should manage it better.

    It was great! Food and service is excellent. The pasta is fresh and so delicious and the tomatoe sauce is very good too. Had fresh mozzarella and tomatoe and clams oreganata was so good. I highly recommend this restaurant.
