Last night was an incredible dining experience! The menu was full of highlights, but the meatballs were tender and flavorful, absolutely perfect. The octopus was another standout—perfectly cooked with just the right balance of char and tenderness. The variety of spreads offered was a delightful surprise, each one bursting with unique flavors that paired beautifully with the fresh bread. To top it all off, the cocktails were expertly crafted and a treat for the taste buds. What truly makes this place special is the owner, who is always so friendly and welcoming. Their warm hospitality makes you feel right at home and adds a personal touch to an already exceptional experience. Can’t wait to return!
