THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED!!!
by raboulafia

Great service, great food...
by RodrigoW
We went to this restaurant after we were dismissed at Lucali's Pizza, as per one pedestrian reccomendation. And thank you very much, Mr. Pedestrian, because the restaurant is really great. From the first Hi, through the wines, appettizers, entrees, desserts... and a very helpful and kind service. 5 stars
- Pros: From A to Z, fine
- Cons: Invite to find one
