“Wonderful experience everything was amazing. ambiance, food ,and theservice was perfect”
“It's a nice restaurant. Among the various dishes, the menu features some Sardinian dishes, like the pictured ravioli. The food was well prepared and good. The noise level is fairly lively. The decor is nice. There are a few tables to eat outside.”
“I cannot give enough detail on how absolutely amazing this restaurant is! First of all, our bar tender/waitress Irina was an absolute blessing! She went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied and the drinks she made were beyond delicious! She absolutely deserves a raise for the service she provided. The food was beyond words. Nothing in my vocabulary can describe how amazingly the flavors melted together and made this a one of a kind experience. Thank you so much for allowing us to experience your culture and creativity. It was fabulous!”
“Irena's service was top notch! Food was is absolutely fabulous!!!!”
“Had a delicious meal of Fried Calamari, complementary focaccia bread, wine, Linguine Vongole e Bottarga and Culurgiones al Brasato di Manzo. Every bite was delicious. The fried calamari was crisp and came with two different sauces a tartar sauce and a romesco sauce giving a lot of flavor and depth to the dish. The Linguine was light but full of flavor. I have always worried if it would come out with not enough sauce or too heavy on the oil. This was a perfect mix bringing out the bottarga with that slight salty addition. We also had the raviolis stuffed with slow-braised short rib. This was by far the most tasty ravioli we have ever had with an amazing and hearty sause. If you like mushrooms these mix of roasted mushrooms have amazing flavor and texture. Highly recommend! We will be back soon!”
“Love the atmosphere. The service was amazing. I never felt rushed. The staff was very attentive to make sure we were done with our appetizer before bringing out our meals love that.”
“Excellent vibes, amazing team, welcoming people. Baby friendly as well. We had a great time! Thanks for a great dinner experience. Oysters were fresh and delicious. Prosecco was sparkling! The pastas were excellent. They were even able to sautee delicious mushrooms and spinach for us- not on the menu. In such a busy city, thank you all so much for the hospitality-very much appreciated!”
