I’ve heard about this restaurant for years - I’m Italian and for the most part. I’m usually not impressed with everyone else’s experience. Well I was wrong. This restaurant deserves all of the hype and then some. The pulpo appetizer was excellent. I had the mushroom ravioli and it was incredible. My husband had the veal cannelloni. It was delicious. Our guests had the lasagne and veal in a tuna sauce (appetizer) - again outstanding. Don’t question your decision to go here - you will not be disappointed.
