    We had a great table for 2 at the front edge, with a clear view of the opera house and the people strolling the waterfront. The linguine with seafood was delicious, as was the burrata and the Italian beer. Tiramasu was tasty, but we wished we had shared because the portion was huge! On Christmas Eve, it was very busy, so service was a bit off, but all the servers were so pleasant that I can’t fault them.

    From the tapas, appetizers and main course everything was delicious. We ordered some anchovies tapas, first time I tried them and they were spectacular. And what to say about the wine, we chose one on the recommendation of the waiter and it did not disappoint!
