    It was literally one of the best dining experiences of our lives! The service was impeccable, not to mention so perfectly personalized and endearing. Every staff member seemed concerned with every guest and every table. We started off with one of their signature cocktails and the carpaccio. I got the risotto with white truffles and my wife got the zucchini gnocchi. The carpaccio melted in your mouth and my wife loved the gnocchi but the star of the dinner was the risotto and yes I paid over one hundred dollars for Arborio , but it was not only the best risotto I’ve ever had but one of the best meals I’ve ever eaten. Five stars for the entire experience.
