Every dish we ordered was great, but my personal favorites were the garlic bread with the Parmesan dip (the Parmesan dip is a must), the creamy spinach, and the radiatori vodka pasta. The service was top notch with multiple servers constantly watching your table to take away empty dishes, bring your next dish, and refill your drinks. I loved the concept of everything being smaller dishes to share because we were able to order multiple things and try a lot. I can’t wait to go back!
