Andiamo in banca has become a part of our Christmas tradition for the past three years and each year we fall more and more in love with the place. This year in particular, the food was even better than it always has been. The staff is genuinely friendly and attentive. When you walk in you are greeted with a friendly smile and immediately made to feel comfortable. We are looking forward to next year already. Thank you for making our holiday so special and delicious

The server gave off an odd vibe. He had a bit of attitude at times, and seemed to be a bit frustrated even though he shouldn’t have been.
