I got the whole branzino special and my date, who is gluten free, got the lamb (arni) shishkebob. Everything was excellent and well portioned. Servers were very attentive. The family that runs the restaurant was very personable and checked regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. They even brought her cucumber and carrots to eat as a starter in place of bread! Highly recommend.
Been there four times, very satisfied each time. A few notes:
- Each time I had a different lamb entree. Thoroughly enjoyed all of them.
- Great appetizers (special shout out to calamari).
- Bread basket comes with olive oil infused with garlic and maybe parsley.
- Children got a complimentary cup of some lemony soup (delicious). They also let us order French fries (not on the menu) to appease picky children.

This place is a hidden gem in Old Town! I went there for the first time last weekend and had a wonderful time. The owner’s family gave us such a warm welcome I felt like a house guest. The food was a bit pricey but AMAZING, and the atmosphere both inside and outside the restaurant were very welcoming. I found a new favorite place!
