I must say, as soon as you walk in, it's impressive to see all the walls covered in wine.
Not just large-scale retail outlets, but also small producers.
The owner, incredibly kind, recommended what to drink based on our order. At the end of the dinner, we started talking about wine, sommelier courses, etc.
The entire staff was super friendly and willing to talk and accommodate us. We had the head glass we didn't like, and they replaced it without a problem.
Plus, the open kitchen is excellent.
After all this description, I recommend you try it and then we'll talk again.
The price is in line with the quality of the food and wine ordered.
A wide selection of wines, quality food, and carefully selected ingredients. The prices aren't particularly low for the area, but they're consistent with the quality offered.
Excellent service: Debby and Lorenzo are exceptional, always attentive, helpful, and professional.
