An absolutely amazing experience tonight, food was absolutely delicious, wine and beers perfect and the staff were friendly and extremely attentive. I had the Pork cotoletta, the Pork didn't even need a knife to be cut. My partner had the Gnocchi and said it was equally delicious. We will definitely be back. A very memorable experience on Christmas eve.
