It's worth mentioning that the peanut butter brownie honeycomb does not contain any bee honey; it is vegan-friendly.

My wife had the artichoke salad with shaved Parmesan to begin. She enjoyed it. Then she had the linguine and I had the cheese ravioli Ravioli Della Casa). It was good, the sauce on it was very good. I had the Tieamisu for desert and my wife had the pistachio gelato. They were both very good. A nice restaurant, we will probably come back.

I'm not sure what happened, but everyone else at my table agreed. Typically, this dish is a 10/10, but today it fell short.

It really put a damper on the whole experience. I would recommend avoiding this place. Despite being polite, I still received a haughty and disrespectful attitude.

I was underwhelmed by the Fettuccine alla Bolognese at this restaurant. Despite being priced at $30, it lacked flavor and left me feeling disappointed. read more I was underwhelmed by the Fettuccine alla Bolognese at this restaurant.
