    Everyone was amazingly accommodating. The game ran late and we had to move our reservation and they were great about helping us to get a table for our whole family. The food was out of this world. The building itself is beautiful. Thank you for a great experience.

    Excellent, as always. We had a party of five seated at a round table. It was a bit hard to hear the person directly across the table, but nothing outrageous, just a great restaurant on a Saturday night. The wine list is excellent. Highly recommend the fried artichoke starter. The octopus was delicious too. Everyone loved their meals- carbonara, rigatoni Alla vodka, chicken. All great. Must start with the focaccia. Cocktail list is amazing, but they no longer have my favorite (Verde fresco) which is a bummer.

    The experience is so worth it- book the reservation! The wine, cocktails, appetizers, dishes, fun hats and music! You will not be disappointed! Service was a tad slow at first- seemed she may have been double or triple seated pretty close together but made up for it with her warmth and her knowledge of the menu! The expo runners and bussers were so kind and welcoming- the “salúd” with the delivery of cocktails was such a nice touch! The decorations are truly over the top in the most mesmerizing way! I felt like Carrie Bradshaw getting Chinese food with Miranda on Valentine’s Day! Surrounded by beautiful decorations! Will definitely return to catch more decorations for a different holiday! Brava, Mama Gale and team! Wow!
