Ambiance is great. Food left us with mixed feelings. We went for NYE dinner and had the prefixe meal. The best part of the meal were the pastas by far. The spinach agnolotti was pillowy and delicious. The chocolate tart for dessert also memorable and tasty. The rest of the meal didn’t live up to the standard we expected for a restaurant with a Michelin mention. Lamb was cooked over done and scallops were rubbery and didn’t have a char. Perhaps it was an off night due to the set menu. Will come back again to see if it’s different another night since the pasta was so good.

Very great experience dining here! I usually come here when it’s super packed but luckily the day I went (and the time) it was not packed at all. With it being less busy, the ambiance was nice and quiet. I was able to hear my conversations. The food was amazing!! The Sweet Corn Agnolotti was very good but lacked a sufficient amount for how much the dish is. The Spicy Pomodoro was amazing!! One of my favorites here and for the amount of pasta it has, it is worth your money. I was not expecting to like the Banana Tiramisu but I enjoyed it so much! I wish I got two but I ended up getting so full haha. Overall 9/10 experience!
