Description




This family-owned restaurant earned a nod in the 2017 Michelin Guide. The space features pleasant decor and sidewalk seating, though the professional service can sometimes lack warmth. While the kitchen turns out authentic dishes, the dining experience comes with a high price tag; guests frequently highlight small portion sizes and mixed consistency, with some dishes, like the scallop risotto, falling short.
