I came yesterday with my wife and had a great experience. The focaccia bread was perfect. The fried calamari was tender and the batter was crispy and light. The Portobello Ravioli was really amazing. I wanted to drink the cream sauce. The Beef Carpaccio was really good. It's hard to find Carpaccio at all anymore and this was a particularly good example. There are a lot of capers on it, so you may want to request none if you don't like those.

Service was attentive. Ambience was nice. We sat on the patio and there was a nice little breeze in the afternoon which made it very comfortable.

The only thing I would change is the pacing of service. Dinner came when we weren't done with our first course. Not ideal.

All in all a very pleasant experience.
