"Decided to try this place after recently having an Orecchiette con Salsiccia dish elsewhere that I loved and wanted to compare. Unfortunately, this one was pretty mediocre. Not bad, just very one note. The sausage completely took over the flavor profile, so I couldn’t really taste the balance you’d usually expect from the herbs, cheese, butter, garlic, or slight richness/sweetness that makes the dish feel layered and comforting. It leaned overly meaty and heavy for my taste. The lamb chops were similar; cooked fine, but nothing memorable or unique flavor wise. The sauce was very simple and didn’t really elevate the dish. The chocolate mousse, however, was delicious. Rich, smooth, and probably my favorite part of the meal. I just wish it came with a few more berries."

"This was my first time attending, and I had a wonderful experience. I started with the calamari as an appetizer, followed by the braised beef ribs with potatoes, and everything was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was beautiful and welcoming, the customer service was excellent, and the drinks were top-tier. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I truly enjoyed myself."
