The food and service were excellent. The crispy artichoke appetizer was perfect- not too charred . The meatballs are the best I’ve ever had. We also order the focaccia bread . That is the only item I feel it’s overpriced. We had the Al Limone pasta . It’s delicious. The cheesecake is light and airy - not dense . We were 5 ( including a 10 month old baby). They do not have high chairs which makes it uncomfortable to eat holding a baby . I understand they probably don’t want to be family friendly but with the noise level, it doesn’t matter. I saw a lot of tables with children and where we were sitting, there were three tables either babies - so people are going there with the babies . Not one baby cried . Management needs to reconsider the high chair - booster seat options.

We truly enjoyed our reservation. The service was top-notch everyone from the front door to the bar to the seats was very welcoming and attentive to our needs. We never waited for anything. There was always a full glass of water on the table and a clean set of cutlery ready for our next course. The food was great and moderately priced
