    We had reservations and arrived on time, were seated after a 10 minute wait. The restaurant is quite large and was busy with a robust noise level. Focaccia was delivered shortly after we were seated, however we had to request the crusty bread service twice before getting it. My husband’s branzino was excellent-tasty and cooked perfectly. The ravioli was also very good-I ordered a split order-three ravioli in lemon sauce, three in tomato sauce. We did not save room for dessert but the selection was appealing. The price is reasonable. After a full day of wine tasting we did not order from the beverage/wine list. Ample parking.
