                                                      The ambiance is beautiful. The food continues to get worse, often over salted and over cooked. For the cost of the meal it’s just not worth it. 26$ cocktails, 40+$ entrees, 28$ appetizer plus a salad, side and bottle of wine. The value isn’t there when most of the food is almost inedible. The service was excellent. I’ve given this place lots of chances and it’s just not worth it when there is so much better Italian in the city.
