    Lila was our server and she was a true delight. She gave great recommendations, she was personable and gets very excited about the menu. I had the zuppe di pesche and my husband had the calves liver. Not ever my cup of tea but he loved it. Said it was tender and favorable. My dish was fresh and packed with fresh varieties of fish. We had dessert, the tiramisu is homemade. It was spectacular. I have to say that from the minute we walked into the restaurant we were greeted with a smile and a wonderful hostess, who saw us and went over the specials and how they are having a wonderful summer, prefix menu and each day there is a special as well. The owner of the restaurant he can stop by he was beyond friendly and not just doing the rounds, but really interested in speaking with the customers. We have been here many times and each time we leave with a full belly and a smile on our face.

    Love love love this little restaurant! We had the same server as last time (so sorry that I forgot her name but she has short blonde hair and glasses) and asked if she was part owner of the restaurant because she takes that much ownership over customers having a great experience. She is superb! Chef is also amazing and comes to the table to shave fresh truffles over the pasta special (as he does it, I am pretty sure the clouds part and angels are playing harps . . . ) Just a wonderful experience coupled with an intimate atmosphere. Fab!
