First time here. We were greeted with a warm smile by the hostess. Our server was wonderful and prompt. Our party of 6 tried 5 different dishes (shrimp Salvatore, pollo dolce vita, spaghetti pescatore, lobster ravioli) that arrived quickly, hot, and at the same time. Everyone absolutely *savored* their meals. Seafood was fresh. Pasta was al dente. Sauces were so flavorful!!! 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼WE WILL BE BACKKKKKKK
