The delicious duck breast was cooked perfectly at medium rare. The fritto mistook was tender, flavorful and perfectly crisp. A bottle of 2019 Giribaldi Barolo complemented the meal beautifully.

Really, really good food. Service was helpful. Very much enjoyed the appetizers and the chicken entree. I would advise leaving room for the chocolate baklava. We will 100% be back. Really well done. The dining area near the door was a bit chilly...but it was cold outside as well.
