    The food was incredible and it would be the only reason to go back to the restaurant for me. Our service was not great. Our table felt ignored at times. We had to try and get his attention or ask someone to send him to our table multiple times. There were 4 people in our party and dinner took over 2 1/2 hours. We didn’t want to ask for desert because it would probably take another 45 minutes. The server filling the water glasses and serving bread was fantastic. He did a great job. The room we were seated in was so loud it was difficult to hear the people at our table. The food was great, but the rest of the experience was not.

    The service was excellent and then some, except for an error on our bill. The people at the next table had an error, too, so be sure to check k your bill. Our food was okay. I had the scallops, which were very slightly overcooked and terribly salty. The risotto accompaniment was very good. My spouse had the agnolotti, which he like but I didn't. Compared to our last visit a few years ago, we were disappointed but will probably try again. Very enticing vegan menu BTW.
