absolutely loved everything we tried. they offered fresh bread & olives to start with & they were delicious. we tried oysters, pistachio & stracciatella rigatoni, & shrimp liguine. Everything was so fresh & portions were generous. highly recommend trying these! we also tried pistachio tartufo which was imported from Italy & it was heavenly.
