Many people had recommended the fried stuffed olives, so we decided to give them a try. They were indeed delicious, but at $5.00 for 5 small olives, they seemed a bit pricey. The polpette starter was tasty, but also on the expensive side. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his steak, while I savored the braised lamb pasta. My duck was perfectly cooked and the portion size was generous. Overall, we would consider returning to try other items on the menu.

The young women they employ are friendly, but there were extended periods when I couldn't get anyone's attention, despite my efforts. Additionally, they forgot to bring a soft drink for our daughter until much later in the meal when I had to remind them. Secondly, while the restaurant is great for Italian cuisine, I would prefer to see more pasta and other lighter options on the menu, rather than so much beef.
