    Absolutely delicious food served by a wonderfully attentive staff in a minimalistic setting. The artichoke appetizer was exceptional, far surpassing the carciofi alla giudia we had in Rome last spring.

    This very special restaurant is a gem. We love the food. The octopus last night was a standout. We were trying to figure out the flavours and are convinced there was a hint of mustard in it. Delish. Isabella our server was fantastic. We misordered a dish and she corrected it immediately. We also learned a few things from their sommelier Robert. Personally I will always go back for their bread and olives!!
