Our experience was amazing, a small but cozy place with a great variety of Mediterranean cuisine starting with Greek spreads with their warm bread, grilled octopus, their special fried burrata was excellent, then one of the most popular dishes was grilled branzino , shrimp Santorini and lamb chops, I highly recommended this restaurant , services are on point.
