To be outside of Italy in an Italian restaurant, the food was very good, a bit overpriced.

Amazing restaurant! So elegant and surprising in the middle of lower march street. Amazing food, the sea food pasta was made right in front of us. And also everything else, the ravioli, minestrone soup and penne arrabiatta, were all great. It is not cheap but definitely worth it.

We celebrated our son’s graduation lunch here. The food was exceptional- every single detail was carefully considered. The flavours sublime. I had the clam linguine and it was excellent. From starters to coffee, the little flourishes added like biscotti and sugared almond balls give this place the extra je ne sais quoi! The service too was outstanding. We will definitely return.
