    This is for the night of the Chinese New Year parade, so it was very quiet inside an Italian restaurant adjacent to Chinatown. The servers were very attentive. The food was delicious. The desserts looked fabulous, but we were too full. We enjoyed our drinks, thought the complimentary bread was tasty, and devoured our 2 entrees: steak with lobster ravioli and branzino. Would love a whole fish option, but still, delicious food in a nice, spacious room.

    It’s been over 15 years since I’ve eaten there and I’m so happy my spouse chose to have his birthday dinner there. Food and service were excellent- it’s great that it’s not touristy even though it’s in a hub. We will definitely be coming back.
