  • Taking a new approach to traditional Italian cuisine is always very hard, but from what I have read here, they pulled it off. Definitely worth checking out, in my opinion.

  • Sounds extremely good. Italian good, classic wise is great. Seeing a new approach on it? Even better!

  • Can`t wait to check this place out. I was planning to go for a while now, but just did not have the opportunity. Sounds awesome.

  • I checked it out, last time I was in the area, and the only verdict that I can give is: Awesome. They have good entertainment, too.
