Staff was friendly and the food was tasty. There were Nine of us, so we ordered family style so we all had a chance to taste the dishes. The fries, waygu meatball were a hit and so were the gnocchi and scallops. Beets and burrata salad was great too. We also ordered four different desserts, we devoured them!! Great place for dinner!!! Will definitely come back.
