It’s been a while since I’ve been here and I was pleasantly surprised they now have house-made pasta, prepared perfectly Al dente too. Squid ink pasta and short rib pasta are the go-to’s. Prior experience with their bolognese made me not want to come back because it’s really hard to mess up bolognese. I think you just have to know what to order. Italian chopped salad also another great one to try.

Delightful find in walking distance from the Ayres Hotels. Very gracious host and our wonderful waiter Paolo. My paper thin filet mignon carpaccio topped with a generous serving of arugula and shaved parmesan, drizzled with olive oil and capers. Best Ive ever had! My pasta was a rich saffron cream sauce with shrimp and scallops...rich and delicious. Husband enjoyed white sea bass with roasted potatoes a perfectly prepared vegetables. You wont be disappointed!
