The ladies working were not familiar at all. They also were not friendly and helpful. I was pretty sad. It did make me feel like the previous owners were gone bc either one were there. I hope they are still around and eventually when I come back, I can update this review. We ordered the Hawaiian hot dog and the arepa with beef and chicken. Something was missing. Also we ordered two empanadas. I like their green chimmichuri sauce with it, and as soon as I asked for it, she walked away and never came back. Even the pic on the outside sign shows them with that sauce, but nope never got it. They also have their usual Colombian drinks which are Postobon and Colombiana. They are more expensive and smaller sizes. We will definitely take a break from here. Hope the owners that we know and love will be there.

The service was simply exceptional- attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about ensuring every guest has a memorable experience. The food was absolutely outstanding. Every dish tasted fresh, authentic, and thoughtfully prepared, showcasing flavors that transported us straight to Italy.

Every dish we tried was outstanding, starting with a fresh and flavorful caprese salad made with creamy, high-quality mozzarella. The linguine with clams was truly the best we've had--perfectly cooked pasta with tender, local clams and incredible depth of flavor. The pasta Carbonara was exceptional and transported us straight to Rome; rich, authentic, and flawlessly balanced. Chef Luca prepared every dish to perfection, clearly using the freshest ingredients and a true passion for Italian cuisine. What began as a quick tasting turned into a full New Year's lunch celebration once we discovered their impressive selection of Italian beers--each one delicious and thoughtfully curated. The entire experience was amazing, from the food to the atmosphere. Authentic, memorable, and absolutely worth returning for.

While taking a look of the menu, she mentioned again about not taking too long to order because the kitchen was closing soon, this was not even 5 min after giving us the menu ( if you are rushing to close just don't take more people and avoid having a bad attitude or experience ). Food 7 of 10 ( Venezuelan bbq was really good and tasty chorizos were delicious, sides were really well Cooked and flavory, Brazilian picanha was cooked perfect, chimichurri sauce was perfect but amount was very little, and cachapas were the weakest point.. cachapa had an old or musty aftertaste definitely horrible won't recommend it. Price is reasonable, first Venezuelan restaurant that I don't feel is overpriced ( 2 cachapas, 1 picanha 12 oz $52 ) As a former server.. please teach or do training sessions with servers to increase quality and positive outcomes. Food has a huge potential but experiences is what people take at the end of the day!
