Upscale Italian restaurant in a 1920s Mediterranean-style villa offering a full bar & a garden.

Although the house has changed hands several times (it has been a home to several families, a glass factory, and a woodworking shop), its decor is strikingly similar to the original design. All of the wrought iron, and most of the light fixtures remain. Additional lighting consists of period fixtures in order to maintain the historical charm. And on winter nights, a wood burning fires glows in the fireplace exuding the warmth and family spirit of the house.
