I do recommend this place, especially for brunch, but don’t order the cheese plate. Really bad quality.

We had dinner this evening before a theatre event and everything about our experience was terrific. Our waiter was attentive throughout our meal and the food was delicious. One of our party used to live in Italy and he commented that the food was as good as in the native country. i highly recommend this restaurant to others and we will definitely visit again.
