Amazing spot and great food. The wild boar ragú pasta was a bit salty. The spicy lobster capellini was amazing. We also tried the octopus agridulce that’s definitely a must you want to try. Parking is a little tough there’s valet but 2 out of the 3 stations said they were full. Ambiance is magnificent and the service was good at first but then our server left and I was waiting for a beer for so long that decided to not have it at the end- it never got to the table The place is beautiful and perfect music volume to have nice conversation.

We had been waiting for weather to cool off to enjoy sitting in the back terrace. Finally got to do it. We were very impressed with our server; he actually remembered us from our previous visit, which had been several months. This time around we had the Tomato Salad, and I had the Soft Egg. Both good, however a lot of tomatoes in the salad and I would have enjoyed bigger/more asparagus with the egg. We both had the Fillet, excellent size and temperature!! Enjoyed a Cannonau, which tasted great, dark cherry with a peppery after taste, but I should have selected something with a bit more body. Regardless great way to start holidays
