A absolute memorable experience! The service was warm and attentive, and the couple's menu offered a thoughtful progression: bread, two starters, an intermediate dish, a main, and dessert. A chilled tomato soup to start and a sweet bite to finish were welcome surprises. Highlights included the crab spaghettini - refined and full of flavor - and a perfectly cooked filet with mashed potatoes. Dessert was creative, with a poppy seed and lemon cream bite that left a lasting impression. Highly recommend.
