    Went for lunch around 1PM on a Saturday and they gave us (a family with kids!) a nice table by the window. Had meatballs and octopus appetizers and both were good, but octopus was superlative. I had the boar/porcini tagliatelle and wife had gnocchi. Both were excellent. Kids and wife finished with bread pudding and it was delicious as well. I had an espresso martini that was fantastic for my dessert. Not a single complaint with food or atmosphere and service was on point. Only possible issue was it did seem a bit overpriced for some items, but by the time I left full and happy, I didn’t care.

    Absolutely incredible. I went for my 1 year anniversary with my girlfriend and it was well worth the steep price. We had the fresh Burrata as our appetizer, she had the Fettuccine Bolognese, I had the Saered Scallops, and we got 2 desserts… the Coffee Gelato and the Crema di Boston. Food was awesome, server was attentive and nice, but the best part was the ambiance and the view. My god. Super awesome experience!

    We had a fantastic time celebrating family. The drinks were terrific (lemon drop martini was my favorite). We ordered the calamari as an appetizer and everyone was raving about that choice. The entrees were perfect and delicious. The Chilean sea bass was a hit as was the lamb chops and filets. It was an incredible evening topped off our server - Yvonne- who made us feel at home. What a great night!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
