The menu is small but features standout dishes like the Baked Cannelloni and roasted carrots with marscapone cheese. The sauces, including the mole and Caesar, are especially excellent. The restaurant offers well-balanced portions that are reasonably priced, making it a good value. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, creating a very European feel, and the service is attentive and friendly. The restaurant is popular, especially on weekends, so it’s best to arrive early or plan ahead to get a table.

Despite some mixed opinions on the entrees, many find the quality of the food and the staff’s friendliness to be outstanding.
