More of a cafe style. Not what we expected. No candlelight. No bread at table. No tablecloths or Italian type ambience. Food was great.

The service is so-so - 1 is friendly, 1 is brusk/curt - they are quite slow with the food - the food is good but not amazing - basically the decor/setup is really good, so is the Ferrari parked in the middle - that's what you come for
