    Amazing food. Insanely loud. We were sat at a small table and could barely hear each other but we didn’t care because the food was so good

    The food was good, but not for the price. It was so loud we had to shout to hear each other from across a small table, and the staff was very cold and standoffish. It felt like it was an inconvenience to them for us to be there, even though we had a reservation.

    From the very outset Massimo and his staff treat you like family. The service is outstanding and the food is even better. If you want to experience fabulous food and a fantastic experience you have to go to Arya.
