Description

Inside, the dining room is designed to host large parties and custom group menus. The kitchen pairs classic Italian fare with some unexpected starters, serving pita bread and hummus before the meal. While staple dishes like spaghetti and meatballs win praise, other items like the lasagna or a firm, sponge-like tiramisu get a mixed reception. The service oscillates too; guests frequently appreciate the warm late-night hospitality and helpful wine suggestions, while others experience inconsistent attention and high pricing on basic items.
