What a fun find! The service was friendly and attentive. The appetizers of lamb meatballs and eggplant rollatini were fantastic! Branzino was great! Wished the special seafood pasta dish had a lighter sauce than the heavy tomato sauce. Desserts were great! Might be nice to have more wines by the glass than by the bottle, but overall a great restaurant. We will be back!
