Italian restaurant, Gluten-free restaurant ★4.0 (114)·$20–30

4.0
The reason I gave it 4 stars was the price. The pasta prices are reasonable considering they’re homemade and the portion is big but the prices for appetizers I find to be ridiculous. The calamari was $19 and I find that to be a bit much. A lot of the appetizers cost that much which is crazy. For 3 people and 2 alcoholic drinks we paid $156. Overall the food is great. - Philip Apilan
