Our waiter was phenomenal! He was also bartending for the entire restaurant as well, but was so accommodating and knowledgeable of the processes of how the bread is freshly made, to the noodles to recommendations. I had to try so many things! I had the calamari & meatballs as an appetizer, which were amazing! The pesto with shrimp, I devoured the whole thing, truffle fries (was disappointed in I couldnt taste any truffle) & the pistachio creme brûlée which hit the spot! Will definitely be back again!!
