Food was absolutely delicious, definitely a 10/10. I ordered a drink called Tea Time, and it was extremely sour, so I’d give that a 2/10. Unfortunately, our waitress wasn’t very attentive, which took away from the experience. More

Their prices don’t match the food quality. We order a pasta dish and the portion was very small, not even in Italy portions are that small, so don’t order the pasta if you are really hungry. We also order a pizza which was very soggy. I … More
