Ambiente MARAVILHOSO, um otimo restaurante para todos os gostos Pedimos um macarrão com mozzarela empanada absurdo de bom e um prato de palmitos com um molho que eu achei bem prato de entrada, porque tinha TÃO pouquinho que sai de la com fome! Maaas indico total! Voltarei para experimentar o resto do menu!
