Stairs are steep for senior persons. The Buratta appetizer was delicious. The spaghetti carbonara was al dente, which I found a bit difficult to eat. The tagliatelle bolognese was perfect. The service was outstanding, and our waiter recommended the perfect wine. This is a creative and upscale restaurant and is priced accordingly, but not so expensive that you'll need a loan.
