We celebrated our anniversary there tonight. It was absolutely perfect. The food was prepared to the highest standard. The service was spot on. Have not had a better experience in a restaurant in a long time. It was exactly what we were looking for. They did not have a menu built of the newest and most creative items that take 10 minutes to describe. Just the tried and true favorites done exceptionally well. Arancini, veal saltimboco, tiramisu. And that’s what we were looking for.
