The only issue I had was the noice level which was not the fault of the restaurant--there were a couple of groups of very loud women who had a tendency to speak in piercing voices. I spend my childhood listening to my mother, my grandmothers, my aunts, my great aunts, etc. telling me to moderate my voice in public. These women could use the admonishment.

As for the food, every dish looked incredible, but the lasagna was truly the star of the night. It was baked to perfection—rich, beautifully layered, and packed with authentic, comforting flavor. Easily some of the best lasagna I’ve had in the city. A fantastic dining experience from start to finish. I will definitely be coming back!
