    What a great dinner!! Livia the hostess made sure we had a comfortable table upstairs. Downstairs was very lively but I have a hearing problem and I would have been miserable. The table upstairs was right by the stair entrance and my friend and I did not want that table so she arranged a corner table and it was just perfect. The staff was attentive but not overbearing at all. We wanted a carafe of water so they wouldn’t have to keep refilling our glasses. We wanted a little extra bolognese sauce and our waiter had it, and extra cheese … the meal was so delicious and coffee exactly how I wanted. Definitely going back!
