Great food as always. Loved the warm sourdough to start with tempura veges. The quail is always a stand out and the gold band snapper was moist with a crunchy skin . The potato side was crispy with a dressed salad to compliment the richness of the fish and quail. Great friendly service.

Very efficient, helpful and friendly staff, Italian cuisine has not lost its identity, which is the most important thing. I recommend the pasta with clams, truly exquisite, and the potato gnocchi, superb.
