    We had a very early seating in order to make it to an event so the dining room was still empty and chose to sit near the bar which already had a lively atmosphere starting. The Gnocchi was delicious and the Chicken Kabobs were very tender and just as tasty. We only had OpenTable's recommendation to go on and Predalina lived up to their great rating.
