    We had a delightful experience with the wonderful and friendly service. We started with the prosciutto and burrata appetizer, which was absolutely perfect for two to share—a true delight! For our main course, we indulged in the veal scallopini special, which exceeded our expectations, accompanied by a side of rich pasta Bolognese. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the fresh swordfish, which was a real treat. The atmosphere was lively, with families and couples enjoying their meals, and the live music added a fantastic touch to our evening. Overall, it was a memorable dining experience! We will undoubtedly return to enjoy again:)
