    Our new local Italian restaurant. The food and service was on point. This time we had the truffle pappardelle with filet tips. Pizza rustic and the pistachio bliss!! Amazing as always!

    The restaurant’s location, right by the river, offers breathtaking views that perfectly complement the meal. Watching the sunset reflect off the water while enjoying authentic Italian cuisine created an unforgettable atmosphere. The food was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I started with the bruschetta, which was perfectly crisp and topped with vibrant, fresh ingredients. For the main course, the homemade pasta was divine—cooked to perfection with rich, hearty sauces that transported me straight to Italy. The tiramisu for dessert was the perfect ending: creamy, light, and just the right amount of sweetness. The staff was warm, attentive, and knowledgeable, adding to the overall experience. They were happy to make excellent wine pairing suggestions that elevated the meal even further. Whether you’re looking for a romantic dinner, a family celebration, or just a relaxing evening with good food and stunning scenery, this restaurant is a must-visit. I can’t wait to return!

    It was my first time there and it was no disappointment but a great experience. We had done our reservation and we were welcomed from the moment we came to the hostess platform. They have a great outdoors and indoors and magnificent decor. Our server Lenny went above and beyond in our service. We met the GM Raymond and the owner Engineer and they were magnificent with knowledge. I would recommend whole heartedly.

    Everything was average. The service was good until we paid, at which point we were asked to leave the table because another party was arriving. I was still drinking my coffee, and there were plenty of empty tables around. To be honest, this is the first time something like this has happened to me, and I dine out fairly often. It was a complete surprise, especially after spending a significant amount on the meal.

    The charred octopus was so hard, you could barely chew it. Hamburger was overcooked and lacked flavor. Greek salad was fine. Overall, lovely view but the food was not good.
