Restaurant Review:We visited this restaurant with high hopes but left disappointed. I ordered the carbonara with truffle and burrata, expecting something special. Unfortunately, the pasta was just okay—and to make things worse, it arrived cold. My husband’s dish was similarly underwhelming, with nothing particularly exceptional...Read More
