My husband, daughter and I had the best meal. We started our dinner with a pizza for an appetizer and ordered calamari and the Caesar salad. Everything was delicious and the service was impeccable. Yiscah was our server and she took such great care of us. We loved the atmosphere and the whole vibe. Definitely recommend!

The food was amazing, we shared the burger, greek salad and the caramelized pear and truffle pizza which was to die for. The deserts, we had the tiramisu and the pistachio bliss, Amazing!! The drinks were alright, they could have been a little stronger for my taste. Our server was very attentive and gave us great recommendations.

Fernando provided excellent service! He provided an overview of the menu and we chose to have a combo of the set Christmas menu and a la carte. The lobster spaghetti and cabanara were exceptional! We already ordered drinks and the comp bottle of Prosecco was a nice addition! We are from NYC and would definitely recommend this restaurant to visitors! The ambiance too was great, but Fernando’s service certainly topped it!
