    Right from the start our waiter Richard, our waiter was friendly, knowledgable, and fun! Appetizer melted mozzarella with Calabrian peppers was outstanding. We licked the bowl clean. Our party loved the 4 different mains. Portion size more than enough. Sadly, no room for dessert. We most certainly will be back.

    You need to be a detective to find an entry for this restaurant (we called to clarify:) - it deserves its name! But what a great dinner spot it was for all of us (2 couples). We decided on tapas items: all were delicious and prepared with knowledge and care. Please go, you won’t be sorry!
