Absolutely fantastic dining experience at La Madonna! The crispy duck was the star of the evening – perfectly cooked and an easy 10/10. We tried four dishes in total, and every single one was delicious and well-presented. The food is definitely worth the value, and you can tell great care goes into each dish. The service is amazing also! Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality and flavor!
