Amazing food and service though they should probably change the bread provider. It was chewy, as if it was 1 day old bread

The food and service was amazing, I had my birthday dinner there and they were so accommodating and friendly. I highly recommend their Focaccia e burro and Prosciutto e burrata and their Pappardelle al Pomodoro, definitely will be going back.
