Luis was an amazing server, he made the perfect accommodations for my girlfriends birthday and served us super attentively! Rare to have a waiter who seems to really care :) We also got a free ice cream scoop for her birthday which was nice. Food was great, the daily special australian striploin steak was awesome.

A hidden gem -- I've never had a bad meal here (and I've eaten here hundreds of times), and every guest I've ever brought here raves about it. Best service in the city. Comfortable, not stuffy. Simply elegant (which means zero intimidation). The menu is accessible and the food is amazing. Worth every penny.

First: The atmosphere of the place is absolutely dreamy—the dim lighting, the dancing candles, the beautiful shadows of the olive tree, and the music all create a wonderful time and an amazing feeling. Second: The staff is extremely helpful, very kind, and quick in service—you don’t have to wait for someone to notice you. Third: We ordered Burrata and Fried zucchini flowers as appetizers, followed by Truffle pasta and fish. • The Burrata was absolutely delicious, 10/10. • The Fried zucchini flowers were tasty, 10/10. • The Truffle pasta was average in taste. • The fish was 10/10.

This restaurant was absolutely amazing, I’ve never been to such a nice restaurant where the food tasted so good. Let me start off by saying the food here is absolutely delicious. The Spaghettini with tiger shrimp was the best pasta I’ve ever had in my life , so tasty and filling. The service was amazing, so professional and friendly. The wine is perfect and they have a great selection on their menu, I came for lunch and was very satisfied!!!! I also tried a cappuccino from here which was perfect, I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a real 5 star restaurant that is very classy!!!!!

Great high end restaurant with extremely genuine Italian staff and chefs. We were introduced to very nice specials in terms of hand made pasta. The vibe is lively and business centric. Very modern and chic. Don't expect a quite cozy time. Actually the vibrant atmosphere was very welcome.
