We had a lovely corner table. The service was just right —friendly and attentive but not overbearing. The food was delicious. We had the paella valencia which was super. The paella was flavorful, moist and the seafood, chicken and spareribs cooked to melt in your mouth.

Decided to have dinner there on Christmas Eve. The two of us shared a Caesar salad which provided us each with several good bites of salad. We ordered the seafood risotto with scallops and prawns topped with pistachios. We also ordered the penne with a pesto cream sauce mixed with chicken and prawns. Bread was served as well. All of the food was tasty with a nice portion size. We ended the meal with chocolate cannolis- good chocolate flavor with a nice crispy shell. A complimentary glass of limoncello was a perfect end to this delicious meal.
