My wife and I met friends here for dinner. Not our 1st time, not our last either! I highly recommend trying the grilled Octopus 🐙 I had the Ribeye, my wife always orders the pizza! Great evening, super nice staff all around.

Broccolini, ricotta (ask for honey and more bread), calamari, and Chicken Milanese was delicious. Would definitely get again and will be back for these. Meatballs were super salty and we were already 2 drinks in. Pizza and dessert was just ok and probably wouldn’t reorder.
