Food was good and service was great. All good until man walked in with his non service dog. Led them to a table upstairs by the counter. Passing all tables on the way. Then the dog sat in the chair beside the owner entire time.
Service was wonderfully attentive. Food may be exquisite, but if service isn't it can minimize the entire experience. Thanks to Cristian and the entire staff for making my first (of many) visits delightful. And the food was exquisite. Our group enjoyed the caprese and fritto mixto to start, and the branzino, ravioli, tagliarini and octopus for entrees. Cocktails were good, but not remarkable.
Food does not taste good. The pasta is very hard and for squid ink pasta there is salmon in it. The salt is put unevenly in every dish. Even bread is too salty. Atmosphere is cute though.
