We enjoyed a delicious Mediterranea Salad with fresh greens and a perfectly dressed Pasta Carbonara Cavatelli alla Norma. We also had two glasses of Montepulchiano and indulged in a chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream for dessert. The food was excellent and the service was top-notch. I can't wait to return.

Lamb wasn't seasoned, too well done and wasn't grilled. Looked baked and as if hadbeen sitting. Brussel sprouts were salty and the Nutella crepe for dessert was lukewarm at best and served without ice cream orwhipped cream. The service was good and they were accommodating to my last minute request to move my reservation 30 minuteslater due to traffic. I'm disappointed as I've visited a few years ago during restaurant week and the food was good.

We ordered the cheese platter and oysters as starters; the oysters were ok, although they were served with ketchup on the side which to me is aculinary crime and the cheese platter seemed a bit overpriced considering that one out of the four cheeses served appeared to beparmesan that hadn’t been grated. We then had pasta for dinner which took quite a bit to come out of the kitchen, althoughwith covid personnel shortages could be understandable, but tasted bland. I definitely won’t be coming back.
