i loved it! ordered the spaghetti with branzino and panna cotta for dessert and it was all delicious. incredibly simple and well executed dishes, with a very nice emphasis on good ingredients.
the spaghetti was a great meal, and a nice contrast between the richness of the sauce and the bright flavour of the cherry tomatoes. honestly i found that the fish didn't really need to be in there at all, it would have been just as good if not better as a vegetarian dish.

The opposite of pretentious, lovely staff and clientèle. Super clean. The gnocchi were the first excellent gnocchi I've had in North America. My wife loved this place. Service was excellent. On the imperfect side, the coffee served was way sour, the food salty for the salt-sensitive. That said, they accomodated and gave us a less salty appetizer ; we will definitely return and recommend it.
Very good food, warm ambiance and service is impeccable.

The menu features simple yet flavorful ingredients, with dishes like Tortiglione amatriciana cooked to perfectly al dente pasta and outstanding starters that are fresh and well-flavored. The menu is not large, but it was all just great, including tomatoes and burrata, octopus, artichokes, pasta, branzino, and veal piccata. The Tiramisu dessert is a must-try, often enjoyed with a glass of limoncello, and other desserts include a lemon tart and lava cake. The restaurant offers a private room for larger groups, and the staff graciously welcomes and accommodates guests, separating dishes for sharing. Guests appreciate the high quality of products, the presentation, and the delightful flavors, making it a high-end restaurant that justifies its prices.
