My wife and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary with family. The staff were exemplary and efficient, without being intrusive. Our main server was warm, friendly, charming and patient with our large group. Would highly recommend.

While shockingly dark for my old eyes when we first entered, the hall opened to a cool dining area. Our server was very attentive and helpful. The food was delicious with a bit of heat that made my husband happy. I’m looking forward to going again.

Our server Lupe was great. Very helpful in suggesting wine and specials. The appetizers polpette alla arrabiatta and burrata were a great way to start. The tagliolini al limone, ossobucco di milano and paillard di pollo were very flavorful. What a great night of dining!
