"Quite overrated. Location wise it has so much more potential, but I guess that’s what they leverage off, location. Thinking the location and the history of the restaurant is enough and not focusing on upkeeping service standards brings this restaurant down. Servers didn’t serve wine properly, dropping drops on the plate and on the table. Servers weren’t very attentive to the orders messing up a two coffee order. Food was alright but for the price I expected better. Food comes out quick. But I also ordered a dessert which took 20 minutes to arrive."

"Really beautiful, fine decor and delicious food. The service is something I would improve, the coctails took a LOT of time to be delivered on our table, the waitress was pushing and pushing us to order really fast, first time they ask me to order all the food entree and appetizers together. When the food started to arrive, it was really really good. We got octopus, burrata, pumpkin carpaccio and calamari. All great! The main plates were, fusilli genovese, spicy lobster pasta, bolognese pasta and the meatballs ... my favorites were the meatballs and the spicy lobster About the desserts... we got 3.. all amazing ... It is kind of pricey, but for all we had the atmosphere and the food, I would totally come back"

"I went to this restaurant to celebrate my husband’s birthday. We made a reservation, which is very important to keep in mind because if you don't make it, it is difficult to have a table immediately. The food is Italian with excellent flavor! The green salad is delicious, especially with the special touch that the fig gives to it. The pasta was delicious and the portion was good enough. The chocolate cake was a delicious dessert!! Regarding the service, I can say that it was very good!! The waiters were very friendly. The very special decoration and the very pleasant atmosphere made our celebration wonderful! I will surely return."
