Food and service was exceptional! Restaurant was a bit ‘too bright’ in the lighting. Ambiance would have been better if it was more dimly lit. Still really enjoyed our experience though!

It felt like left out when it came to service (being only brown family dining). The food was not great either but my family was so hungry we didn't have time to raise a complain to re-order the dishes. I won't be visiting again and would say there are better Italian food options available with better service.
