"I was there with a party of 15 a few days ago. We agreed on a fixed menu during the reservation process and the staff was very helpful and accommodating of all the allergies/dietary restrictions. We had pumpkin risotto, saltimbocca alla romana and millefoglie for dessert. Their bread and focaccia are also delicious. The super quick and helpful communication with the staff and the delicious food made it a great experience overall!"
