Authentic Italian I hadn’t had Flambé Branzino covered with salt to preserve the flavor since I went to Europe and the had it!!!So moist and delicious! The fish was meant for two people, very big! With potatoes and spinach ( even the spinach was good) We had 3 glasses of Chianti wine and the bill was $112 The owners are very welcoming and they adjusted my petitions of my request! Definitely coming back!

Enjoyed the food very much. The waiter was great. The happy hour wine value was very fair. They do charge a credit card fee which I wish was posted more visibly, rather than seeing it on the final bill. Will definitely go back but may pay cash next time.
