    Excellent! The Smoked Saffron Tahdig was a highlight, but equally so the lamb lollipops, the truffle mushroom soup, and cucumber yogurt! The Anar cocktail was on point too. Also the Service was 10/10. We wish it was closer to where we live, we would be back every day! But regardless will be back as much as possible, what an experience!

    Been here a couple of times. Always great. We ordered paccheri aragosta, ravioli ricotta e spinaci, orecchiette salsiccia. All delicious. Favorite was ravioli. I would recommend to order focaccia, even if it's extra charge. You'll need it, believe me. If you have to pick an appetizer get fiori di zucca. Desserts were great too. There was a special that night which was amazing. Service was outstanding, extremely kind and attentive.
