    Our server Andrew was wonderful as well as the others who assisted him. The peach Caprese was delightful and I will have dreams about it. The carpaccio was fantastic. (The Dijon is delicious against the peppery arugula.) I also had the lasagna. The bolognese was delicious. The lasagna noodles were a little over-salted which was the only downside to the meal. My husband had the Cacio e Pepe and Italian chop salad which he said was very good as well. We got a sourdough brownie for dessert which was phenomenal. All in all a great meal for our anniversary. I will be back for that Caprese and hopefully another brownie. 😊
