Food was excellent as was the ambiance. Our waiter was average, hardly checked up on us for water or additional drinks. Previous visits have been much better service-wise with other waiters. Overall a great Italian restaurant with reasonable prices.

Our overall experience was very good but the evening started on a singular note because of a nasty comment from our server Alex who mocked the question of one guest of our party. It gave us a sinking feeling right away. Gladly the food was very good, the manager Alejandro very understanding when our bottle of wine was corked and gave us a new one, plus we were not charged for a cocktail that the glass was cracked sharply and we did not see it until we finished the drink. A beautiful evening that could have started on a better note than mocking a guest by telling them that their question about the decor ‘WAS A FIRST’. THANK YOU ALEJANDRO (the manager) FOR SAVING THE EVENING and thank you to the chef and the nice young girl who was attentive to all our needs. CIAO !
