The place is beautiful, & the people who are serving are very professional, but the food, I think it was only us, but the food was cold, we waited for 30 minutes to receive our dinner, & the spaghetti that I ordered was simple, ir wasn't seasoned. 3/5 stars

J'ai été mangé la bas hier soir, l'ambiance du restaurant est incroyable: les employés sont friendly, la musique est très bien & l'intérieur du restaurant est très beau. J'ai mangé la meilleure brushetta à ce restaurant & les pâtes sont tellement délicieuses 10/10
