    Wow, what a great find. When I stumbled upon it in a map search, I was very excited just looking at the pictures of the main dining room, and of the dishes they served. When my friend and I ate there that night, it exceeded my high expectations! My only regret, is not being able to sample more in one night than we did. We will both be back as regulars, and it will be great to bring a few more friends, so we can sample more from each other's plates!

    What a wonderful and authentic Italian experience with terrific ambience and lovely staff! The food was delightful -stuffed zucchini flowers and caprese salad ,followed by tagliatelle with wild boar ragu and ravioli as our main courses .Finished off with a lovely tiramisu and double espressos - - and I had a Merlot grappa to end a wonderful dinner. Someone must have contacted the restaurant - - a candlelit treat was brought out with the whole restaurant singing happy birthday to me— a great evening!

    The restaurant is quite beautiful and the service was quite nice :) Food was very delicious. We had visited the restaurant explicitly to try Fugu and we were not disappointed. The portions were good but it was a bit on a pricey side.
