My chicken wrapped in bacon was perfectly cooked and simply divine. The glass of Primitivo Puglia IGT red wine was delicious as well. The staff, especially the owner/manager, provided top-notch service. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

My mom ordered the pork belly and absolutely loved it. I had the fettuccini with extra mushrooms, which was delicious—not mind-blowing, but still very tasty. We didn’t order dessert because the portions were quite generous. The staff was wonderful; they even provided our kids with napkins filled with jelly beans, which I thought was a nice touch. Overall, it had a cozy, homey feel, and the location tucked away in the gardens was fantastic.

The lovely waitstaff even serenaded my husband with a birthday song, involving the kids in the surprise. There's definitely something special about that local flair!
