Just visited Munno for the second time; it is excellent! The food is delicious! They have such a wonderful menu, seasonal and interesting, without being fussy or pretentious. Loved their gnocchi entree and the burrata and prosciutto starter. Our server, Ethan, was great, too. This restaurant is a total gem!!
