    An exceptional evening. We thank everyone for their kind and attentive hospitality. Loris, Wesley and Massimo in the kitchen are the individuals that we were fortunate to have longer or different interactions with thereby recognizing them by their names. However, it should be noted that your entire team attended to us in a very genuine manner. Thank you Merci Grazie
