We came as a large group and had an excellent time! Our waiter was wonderful and very attentive! We tried many dishes. I think the pesto pasta was the best dish we had. (Not pictured) I had the short ribs pasta. It was very good! The meat was cooked very well. We tried many appetizers and our favorite was the focaccia bread with the ricotta cheese and balsamic glaze. The drinks were very good. The atmosphere was great! Would definitely come back and recommend to others.
