Wonderful service by Laura (and a great backup team), plus everything we had was excellent. We had two pizzas as appetizers. Margherita pizza was basic but that’s what makes it so good, while the lemon pizza was a favorite of the whole table. We also had the caramelle pasta dish and the agnolotti pasta dish. The serving sizes are just right - we each cleaned our plates! We had tiramisu and vanilla gelato as well as an affogato with vanilla gelato for desserts. All were delicious. We will be back!
