    Stunningly beautiful restaurant.. Great ambiance. We had a spacious booth in the corner and it was perfect. Excellent service- our water was always full, and a server was always around if you had a question or concern. They were knowledgeable and not pushy. Our food was memorable - especially the Carbonara, Gnocchi Cacio e Pepe, as well as the salmon and pork chop dishes. The Ceasar salad was excellent. The smoked short rib lasagna was the only dish that didn't resonate with us (not as balanced with the strength of the smoky rib and the whole basil leaves). We were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary tasting of stuffed shells- they were great! Very good tiramisu and cappuccinos for dessert. Prices were reasonable. Highly recommend and plan to be back in the future...

    The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the overall experience was delightful. However, the Carbonara was overpriced for the portion size.
