Old school beautiful trip to Italy without your passport. Food was excellent, server was really on it. Back ground music was spot on.

Loved walking through the kitchen to the back patio. The food was good, a couple of the seafood dishes were definitely on the fishy side. My favorite was the Vitello Tonnato, thinly sliced veal over tuna salad, sounds strange but it’s a great combo with some fresh bread. I was slightly underwhelmed by their “signature” pasta dish, the Agnolotti, I found the sauce to be too rich and very greasy. The decor of plastic hanging on the wall printed with an old house in Italy I’m guessing 🤣 is quite a site, especially with the window holes ripped into them… Overall I think I’d come back to give some other things on the menu a shot, maybe skip the seafood.
