    We decided to go and try this restaurant based on the good reviews it has and let me tell you it did not disappoint. The food was delicious and a good size portion is given. I got the chicken Parmesan and I was highly satisfied. The tiramisu was delicious as well. We were able to be seated before our reservation time so that was a big plus. Overall we were satisfied and will definitely be coming back. I would definitely recommend checking this place out if you’re in the area.
