This was truly one of the best meals I have ever had. We did the Chef’s Tasting menu and it was FANTASTIC! Each course somehow got better than the last. The Chef explained each dish to us, and was incredibly kind. I am always on the hunt for new restaurants and rarely frequent the same place twice, but I will definitely be back. This is without a doubt the best authentic Italian food I have had in the city.
