The food was good but not a unique experience. The best part was the ambience. Bring charged $10 for water water really threw a wrench to the whole dinner. It was as a surprise and not on the menu. We were offered water and regarded it as part of the normal restaurant ritual. Real bummer to have to pay for water.

Fantastic experience overall. The food was excellent. The linguini with frutti di mare was fresh, albeit a little short on scallops/clams and heavy on the shrimp. The pizza was proper brick oven with the perfect crust. Deserts (we had the crème brûlée, Apple pie and affogato) were all very good. Great attention to detail and service. Would go back.
