Reviews
We arrived at 11:30 pm and the kitchen was already closed. We called and Francisco answered, very kindly taking our order so we could eat when we arrived. Despite arriving late, they treated us incredibly well; everyone was so friendly. Even with the kitchen closed, they made us dessert. I really want to highlight their attitude, their positive energy, and their helpfulness. Many, many thanks to Francisco, Brian, and all the kitchen staff!
The atmosphere was quiet and perfect for a chat or a business dinner. The sorrentinos weren't to my taste at all, with a very strong flavor and a somewhat bitter sauce, although the presentation was beautiful. The provoleta with pears was quite delicious as a starter, and the creme brulee was well-made. The service was decent, although the waiters began to serve us reluctantly at the end because we were the last ones there, even though the kitchen hadn't closed yet. It left something to be desired. I think the dishes are delicious, although I don't think they're good value.
