“ A very interesting cozy restaurant frequented by unusual people, perhaps they are Uber rich. I visit here not often but everytime I'm here it's gratifying to be welcomed by Sir Francis. Food is good, Chefs know how to cook a good pasta. Salad, Minestrone and gamberi alioli pasta is the best ”
“ The place was recommended and it did not disappoint.. Food and serving portions were ok and tasted so good. Past was made fresh (you can tell) and flavors were superb which justifies the price since its more on the pricier side. There are ample parking space as it is located in a commercial complex. Must Try! ”
