My second visit was nothing short of phenomenal, celebrating a birthday with my wife and family. The charming indoor atmosphere set the perfect backdrop for a memorable evening. The staff made us feel incredibly special with their warm, attentive service, and the food—wow! Generous portions of authentic Northern Italian cuisine left us all completely satisfied. It’s a true gem, and I can’t wait to bring my favorite wine and experience it all over again.
