Classic, traditional Italian welcoming by Frank and his business partner. Generous with compliments and kindness. The service was excellent, food quality and flavor was incredible. Enjoyed Sea Bass from Hawaii (daily flown in), ratatouille, cheese ravioli, meat sauce and generous servings of crispy, delicious bread with olive oil, balsamic and seasonings on the table. Wine and beer menu was thoughtful.

Most enjoyable experience - highly recommend! It would be even better if the noise level (due to people talking but not the kitchen) were reduced. But thanks for an incredible meal and experience after a long day at the Convention Center!
