Food in this place is amazing, we started with the Wagyu Beef tartare👌🏽 amazinggg, then for our main Ricotta & Swiss Chard Tortellini and Pan Seared Scallops, I cannot decide which one was better, both were outstanding. For dessert I highly recommend the mango tiramisú, we did also the Baked Chocolate Ganache, but the chocolate is super dark ( if you are a fan you will enjoy it). Thank you Walter for making our night, an amazing experience.
