It was my first time at the restaurant. It was really nice, good ambiance and decor. I went with a group (party of 6) to the terrace, the terrace it is pretty nice, lights and big fans. In the same breath, there was a DJ playing that made the time better. Time to talk about the food and drinks, it is a little expensive, however you get good service, drinks and food. I ordered Grey Goose Mole it was good. For food, we ordered a few starters and pizzas and we shared it. Surprisingly, it was really good. The food was delicious. The staff was friendly, but too preoccupied and not really focused on providing the best experience (I realize when restaurants get busy it's hard to do that, but the restaurant was about 30% busy, so there was no excuse). The atmosphere was good. I wish they would lower the volume of the music just a bit. Overall, a great experience and we will definitely be back to eat here again. Their sushi rolls were amazing, the churrasco was cooked to perfection (tender, flavorful and right on point to the temperature I asked for, medium), and the croquetas iberianas (I think that's the name) were super delicious. The drinks were also well made. It's difficult to find a place in DR that makes an old fashioned properly. This bartender knew how to make it. I definitely recommend this place. It's a bit on the expensive side for your typical Dominican meal, but well worth the price. Very nice dinner. The main dining room was cold. Ate outside in the courtyard. At first it seemed like it was going to be too hot, but they have nice fans that move around the air save we were comfortable. The food was cooked well and the service was great.

Great Italian restaurant with good food, great ambiance and excellent service. We were dining there on Valentines Day and the restaurant was absolutely packed, we had only been able to get a table on the terrace, but this was in fact a positive as the terrace/garden is beautifully decorated and illuminated with a great atmosphere. Despite being full, service was very attentive and the food excellent. On a return visit we sat inside due to the summer heat and humidity in the terrace and bar area. We ordered starters and main courses, all of which were really excellent, particularly the steak tartare, one of best I have ever eaten. The swift and friendly service was at least as good as any restaurant I have been in in the DR and vastly better than most. A little pricey, but certainly no more so than other restaurants of this level. Thoroughly recommended.
