Everything was wonderful! The ambiance is pleasant and the view from the restaurant is beautiful. All the food and drink was phenomenal, some of the best i’ve ever had, and just as delicious as last time we were here. Wonderful flavorful bread, yummy cocktails, and I absolutely love the Three-Cheese Ravioli with pesto and the Mini Bomboloni. I’ll be coming back to this restaurant every time I see a show at the opera house.

Great location if going to the Opera house for a show! The ambience was amazing, lights dimmed and a quiet place. Started off with the cauliflower as an app, it was great. Ordered the pork chop, it was also great. Service was perfect. Definitely recommend this place.
