Had eggplant parmigiana- absolutely excellent - one of the best eggplant parms I’ve ever had - an enormous portion and well worth it. Excellent strong coffee - and so nice to have a table with lovely tablecloths and cloth napkins. The venue has been totally redone and is stunning - beautiful finishes and attention to detail. Sound level is really good - tables are far enough apart you don’t have neighbor’s conversations - and you can converse with your guests at a reasonable volume. Service was excellent - charming and efficient - this is a very welcome addition to the neighborhood. My friends meals were equally good - one had a whole branzino that was so expertly filleted and cooked that there was not a single bone in the very flaky flesh.
