The food is delicious, we were served by Santiago. Very good. I must say the best waiter. Terrific. The best I know.

Most important for me Live Music! Very traditional!

We had dinner here and the service was great. They had a few gluten free meals, so my boyfriend could eat there without any worries. The food was delicious and they had a singer plus a pianist playing live.

Best Spaghetti and meatballs in town. It’s not on the menu but you won’t regret ordering it. Literally the best red sauce I’ve had! The lollipop lamb chops are to die for too. When in town, we always make time for dinner here.
