Absolute #1 Restaurant in flavor, service and presentation. The actual location is a bit to modern and sterile for my taste, but the food is exquisite. great to share dishes (small portions but all delectable). favorite dishes there: the cauliflower, the agnolotti, the branzino, the pork sugo with polenta, and the #1 spicy mezcal cocktail. bon appetit! let us know what you think
