    I had a great Valentine’s Day with my wife. Our server Otto was really attentive and great to us. The pasta was really good and the salmon was cooked to perfection.

    Excellent food. Service was perfect. The fig based Negroni I hear is very good. We had a fantastic wine at the table. Everyone at my table enjoyed their meal, so there’s plenty of options to choose from. A good local restaurant, and one worth taking the trip to from uptown or downtown. Save room for dessert, there was a whipped pistachio cheesecake that I really enjoyed.

    Unsatisfied with this place, they seem to lack manners. I came in in a celebratory mode and was shushed by the manager for it. Not asked to lower my voice but shushed in a rude manner. I asked the manager for an apology but he refused and threatened with calling the police. Learn some manners if you want to run a restaurant in this city, it's a melting pot of many different ethnicities and one should not be treated differently or LESS for not being white. Not to mention, if you're not content with someone you are not to shush people, you are to instead speak up and address others in a KIND and respectful manner.

    The service was great. The attendants were very attentive and patient with the children, doing everything possible to make them comfortable, despite the natural mess of small children. Everything we ate was wonderful, with a special mention for the tuna tartare and mushroom ravioli

    Lovely new restaurant from the Vicolino. Beautifully decorated, and the same delicious food and service. Maybe the best Cosmopolitan in town.
