    This was the first time to be there and my friends and I had lunch there. We tried the crab cake and grilled octopus from today’s special appetizer. Both dishes were very delicious! For main, I had ‘Tagliolini del Poeta’ (Homemade pasta in porcini mushroom sauce, wrapped with imported speck and truffle cream). It sounds heavy but it was not, and I finished up. I asked the waiter to put the candle for my friend’s desert as for her surprise birthday. They sang the happy birthday song and decorated the dish for her. My friend was very happy! Thank you very much. I would like to come back, and definitely suggest to try their food :)

    I had a wonderful experience. We had a table for eight. I had reservations before hand they sat us right away. The food was excellent. The service we got was very good. They were right on the ball the table spacing was very good in the dining area. and the prices were very fair. Nothing too expensive except for the steak otherwise my party had a very fine dining experience. I would recommend it.
