Great & attentive service, professional staff. Here’s my experience. We booked a table indoors which you too should. Music level is just right, and noise level is normal indoors. The staff was very careful with the allergy notes and made sure and informed us accordingly. Whoever came to the table knew about. Great communication there! First, you are served selection of breads alongside butter, olive oil and some sort of babaganus. Breads were unique and so good. They have gluten free options too. We shared Burrata that comes with fresh tomatos, topped with olives and served on top of eggplant pure. Interesting but overall good, especially heirloom tomatos- very fresh & tasty. Second starter was charred octopus. It normally comes with its own sauce made of octopus head but we had it on the side for a possible contamination with shellfish as one of us have allergy to it. Octopus was good but not wow. The star for me was the lobster tagliolini nero. Black tagliolini was cooked to the perfect and was rich in lobsters. The portion was also right. Not too small, not too big. Certainly give it a go if you want to try pasta. For cocktails, I had a classic margarita with black salt rim and it was really good. The only thing that they did not ask was our vaccination cards since they only allow vaccinated people to dine indoors as per the website. Overall it’s quite expensive but give the quality in food & service, you should try it out. Great fine dining atmospere with class. I love it.
