Great date night dinner choice. We had never been to this restaurant and so I picked it based on reviews and the menu. The food and service were excellent. We had the beef medallions and the tortellini. Both were very well prepared and delicious. The arancini was amazing and not like any that I have previously eaten. Finally, the tiramisu shined! I definitely recommend and will be back.
