    Wonderful service, drinks, and food. You will not be sorry for eating here. Will return because there are so many more items I want to try on the menu.

    Not very often that you get it all! Good food...check, Service....check, good free pour drinks....double check. My family and I have frequented this place for years. We have not been there in awhile and we are very happy to say they haven't changed. If you have a bad experience here....it's your own damn fault!

    This place continues to be awesome. We have been going for years.  They treated my elder mom like royalty and it was her favorite restaurant even though its frequented by a young hip crowd.  Food and drinks are fantastic.  Had not been in a while and the people , food and drinks did not let us down!

    I can't say enough good things about this place!  I've been going for years, whether to meet friends for cheese and wine, on a date with my husband, or a BIG group the food never disappoints!  

    Their wine selection is fantastic.  I always try something new while I'm there, most of the waiters have a good sense of what wine pairs well with what you've ordered.  My favorite dish so far has been the Xixo Misto, the chimichurri sauce is delicious!  The best I've had.  When I'm craving pasta I prefer the Agnolotti Galletto, I have no idea whats in their pink sauce but paired with the chicken filled ravioli and the crunch from the almonds makes this one fantastic dish!  I love the mixture of Brazilian and Italian food this restaurant offers.

    On the weekend they usually have live music, and I really enjoy their outdoor area during the summer!  

    Can't wait to go back!

    This place is in my neighborhood.  Food is consistently good, chicken breast has a Brazilian touch. Pizzas at happy hour are a must.  And the fresh mozzarella cheese in Caprese is so fresh and almost tastes whipped!  The wine selection is always good with nice specials by the glass.

    My wife and I dined on a Saturday night at 6:30.  We called for reservations because the OpenTable website said it couldn't connect to the restaurant. Galletto was busy and lively.  We sat on the patio (we're usually inside diners), were glad we did, for a comfortable nice experience.  The servers have only 3 or 4 tables each (a good thing).  The diner at the table next to us had an amazing looking pasta dish, he told us what it was and was not on the menu (sometimes it's a special... more later), and I was able to order it. They gave us a sample of their house Syrah & Merlot wines. They weren't to our tastes, so no problem, we ordered glasses of their Malbec and it was excellent. We split the Brazilian (sic) salad. It was fresh, properly dressed, and the half order was a good size to split.  I had the (not on the menu) pasta shells with lobster a la grappa.  It was a wow factor with the sauce wonderfully flavored and balanced, the shells tender and fresh, with abundant lobster.  Rich, but not over.  Reasonably priced at just under $25.  My wife had shrimp skewer with vegetables. Again, delicious large shrimps, quite a few of them, perfectly cooked with a great skewer of vegetables, rice, beans, pico de gallo, and chimicurra (sic again).  Excellent for just over $20.  Overall an excellent restaurant, good service, well run, and a prototypical Westlake Village clientele. A strong 4.5 stars.

    Pricey for what you get.  Food is very good, occasionally great.  Service is a bit slow, so be prepared to dine a a casual pace .  Tables are too close together and it is noisy.  The bar is great and always packed.  I do like the Brazilian food and atmosphere.  The one thing I really really do not like, is that they will absolutely not bring you bread until after you order your food.  I spoke to the owner about about it and he just said, "that's my policy, deal with it".  Not a big deal, but when you are starving and the place is crowded, it would be nice to munch on the bread until they get around to you.

    I went here for lunch last week and my over all impression of the place is that it's a little confused. Is it Brazilian food? Italian? I don't think the place knows.
    First off- the service. The waitress was really inattentive. I think she may have been the only one working on a Saturday lunch shift, but still. If you wanted a drink quickly- you weren't going to get it here. That being said, the buss boy totally made up for it- he popped up to refill drinks, bring bread, clean the table and even get us our check. My grandma made sure to give him an extra tip because he was pretty much our waiter.
    Now for the food- My grandma wanted something small so she saw on the appetizer list- tequila shrimp. My grandma hates booze though so the waitress gave her the same shrimp but with a different sauce that my grandma LOVED. Even the tampenade dip that came with the bread was amazing. I ordered the three taco lunch plate which consisted of a fish taco, carnitas taco and a beef taco. In all honesty, they were all really good but tasted the same. They were also really really greasy- which didn't stop me from finishing them.
    The pricing was a little off- my Grandma's appetizer cost the same amount as my lunch plate- almost $20 each.
    The ambiance: Inside it was really dark with a bar atmosphere. I can totally see that place turning into a club-like place at night. Outside there was a cute little patio which I would have liked to have sat out in but it was a little hot and crowded.
    Overall, an interesting find. I may be persuaded to try the place again.

    My favorite restaurant ever: from the ambiance to the food, to the drinks, Galletto's is everything. The mushroom risotto is my go to choice and I find myself craving it all the time. I don't have a lot to say other than if you like quality, flavorful food in a casual but elegant environment, you can't go wrong here.

    I am so down for a place out here that isn't a cookie-cutter chain restaurant.  And Italian-Brazilian cuisine?  Sweet.

    We started with the CEVICHE BRASILEIRA, which is meant to be shared.  There's diced mahi-mahi, scallops and shrimp marinated in fresh lime juice, cilantro, green onions and Brazilian malagueta pepper, and it's served with guacamole and tortilla chips.  For our entree, we split one of the specials (also meant for two people), the RIBEYE ALLA NAPOLETANA, a juicy, 18 oz. mesquite grilled prime beef ribeye topped with a grilled tomato and melted burrata mozzarella, and served with soft polenta and spinach.  It was plenty...and I had left-overs which were still fantastic the next day.  I was on my own for dessert and had their special MANGO MOUSSE CAKE and a CAPPUCCINO.  The cake was slightly sweet and very light and it was the perfect end to our meal.

    There's indoor seating and an outdoor patio.  It's definitely quieter outside, plus it's heated.  On weekends, it gets loud inside with music and dancing.  My friend had mentioned that this place attracts a cougar-ish crowd.  But I had to see it for myself.  And yep, there were the ladies dancing with the much younger male staff.

    Cute place, small inside but a nice size patio which l will come back to enjoy in the warmer weather.

    Ordered their chicken empanadas, they cut them in half so it looks like you have a total of 4 instead of the two. I was dissapointed the chicken was not flavorful at all and they were not full which would have made not a difference in my liking it anyway. My hunney ordered the chicken milanesa and again we were not impressed I dare say CPK has this dish down!

    Their Samba drink was okay, better than their sweet ciprihana (sp)

    We will give this place another try and be back to enjoy their out door patio. We will be trying totally different dishes and see if they sell us in returning yet again.

    Food was good, but the service was atrocious!!! Waited over an hour even thought we had a reservation, then was conned into paying for items that were made to seem as though they would be comped for the delay in our table and having to sit outside in the cold, and the manager/owner acted like a high schooler and refused to speak with us about the bill. She also talked trash about us in front of us in another language that a woman in the party understood. Worse service ever!

    I have been to this place several times now and really enjoy it. I may enjoy it's sister Farfalla better, but this place is great as well. The decor in side is very cute, dimly lit with little lights all around. This time, when we got there the place was pretty empty, but it was probably 5:30 or so. We were hungry for a little appetizer and a glass of wine. The happy hour wine I was actually pretty impressed with. Several times you get a glass that you think, no wonder it was on happy hour, but that was not the case here!

    Here is where this place went from 4 stars to 3 stars - the prices and the service. Our server was not very attentive and kept sitting down to watch the soccer game and socializing with the other staff excessively. Also, the appetizer menu was more expensive than I thought it should be. We finally chose to order the caprese salad and I am glad we did. It was amazing! I mean in all honesty probably one of the top 5 caprese salads I have ever had. The fresh burrata really made the dish. It almost brought the place back up to 4 stars, but here I remain at 3. I would like to go back, but unfortunately not sure if I want to put that big of a dent in my wallet with mediocre service.

    Ummm 4 star is pushing it really.. More like 3.5. We got the bruschetta which was fresh and tasty. Their wines are grossly overpriced... I mean really.... Grossly... Their risotto was good. Their selling point with their risotto is that they mix it in a gourd made of a cheese wheel with a hole in it... Very very rich but delectable. Customer service is average and the Brazilian owner (?) lady came to chek on us and chat with us. It was very sweet and endearing but I couldn't understand a word she was saying and this is coming from a girl surrounded by people speaking Konglish, Spanglish and Irish. But hey, I applaud her for just doing it. I don't know if I would come back because I enjoyed farfalla trattoria a hint better for their happy hour and ambiance... But still a solid choice if you're in the area

    Our large family, celebrating a birthday ate at this restaurant. Yes, we come from the "Valley" and wondered why the treatment in Westelake is so bad. You are charged for any little extra. They put so little sauce on your plate you have to have more to finish your meal. Charge. Splitting, charge. butter, charge, cutting a cake charged for every slice,but they do have the best Olive tapanade ever!  

    No friendliness in this establishment. But I was told by a local that in Westlake the customers are snobs and like to be treated rough and with little respect. All the snobs I know would never, ever let anyone treat them any way but WITH respect.

    THE FOOD. OUr granddaughter had to hold her nose to eat any of it. Some of the many and varied meals we ordered were ok, nothing was delicious and nothing would make me come back, not even for free. Bad feelings, bad vibes and charged to breathe.
    To top it all off and with a bill over $500.00 they wanted to charge $2.50 for each piece of cake sliced.  Go somewhere else. I would like to see this place fold and a new one come in.  I am only the messenger.

    Great food, EXCELLENT happy hour.  We love that the bartender always remembers us even when it's been awhile since we were in.  Love the Beef Buenos Aires :D I just can't seem to get enough of the chimichurri which is served on the side with the beef!  On the downside, I asked for more and they said they had to charge me :(  

    But, I return again and again because the place is super friendly, the food is very very good.  But, I'm out before the live music starts and the older crowd gets it's groove on.  Just plain weird.

    Great food horrible service. Hooooooooriiiiiiiiible!  We constantly found members of our party with empty wine and water glasses.  We only saw our server 3 times during our whole experience.  First to take drink orders, a second time for apps and a final time for entrees.  No matter how great the food is, when you experience bad service, it just ruins the entire experience.

    After all these years Santino's great Italian/Brazilian restaurant, Galletto, is still the "Cheers" place in the Conejo Valley where the vibe is as comfortable as an old sweater and seemingly everone knows your name.

    It all starts when you are greeted by the lovely hostess, Ivonne, at the door.  Although Galletto is always busy I can't ever remember a significant wait to get a table, even without a reservation.  Maybe that's because the place is larger than it looks or maybe that's because the wait is a pleasant one, listening to live music or just enjoying the people-watching scene.

    Sexy dark with the kitchen flanking the right side of the space, the actual dining room is long and deep.  An outside patio is appropriately enclosed or opened depending on the weather.  I prefer to sit out there in the summer.

    The wait staff, headed by Vera, is very attentive and professional.  The menu and wine lists are extensive, even with a recent paring down, but you can always find something for everyone that's exceptionally tasty.

    Pizzas are interesting and good for SoCal.  I stick with the margherita.  Calamari is a good appetizer choice, too.  The accompanying marinara meant for dipping is terrific.

    You'll get a decent enough bread basket.  The bread is not as crusty as I'd like, but it's still quite good.  The tapenade, however, is the raison d'etre.  Just watch out for those olive pits...  So good I dare you not to finish off the little dish of olive goodness.

    Salads are all exceptional.  I especially like the traditional Caesar, and M love, love loves the Burrata salad.  The latter is not on the menu anymore, but if you ask they can usually create it for you.  It's always a little different, but it's always out of this world.  Fresh burrata with hierloom tomatoes over field greens is typical.  It doesn't sound that sexy, but try it.  You'll thank me.  It's that good.

    The tomato soup, Pappa E Pomodoro is perhaps the best I've had anywhere.  Yes, anywhere.  Rustic.  Almost a chunky gravy.  With bread, this dish is perfect comfort food for a cool night.

    The pastas are all amazing.  From Pennette Santino, tubes of pasta in a pink vodka sauce (ask for it extra spicy) to my favorite, Bolognese, this is how pasta should be prepared.  Al dente and traditional.  The Tortiglione al Fungi is tubes of pasta in a pink sauce with champignons, shitakes and porcinis.  Mmmm.

    If you haven't had the brazilian specialties, you should try them.  Like the Xixos.  These are brochettes of marinated beef, chicken or fish that are quite tasty.  Brazilians are known for their beef, so I stick with the beef xixos.  I love the side dishes, too - traditional black beans and rice.

    The mushroom risotto is a memorable sight.  The server will bring the parmesan cheese wheel to your table and create the dish inside the wheel, and if you like risotto you won't be dissapointed.

    I can't think of anything that I don't like at Galletto.  Perhaps the live music can be too loud when you are having dinner?  If you are bothered, though, you can move back in the long dining room, away from the stage or even out onto the patio.  So there.  There's nothing I don't like about Galletto.  Pass the beer nuts, Norm.

    Ah yes, want to talk about a decent priced, local hangout, sinatra music, italian/brazilian fusion joint in westlake...here you have it my friend. Galletto has a nice homestyle mom and pop vibe to it when you first pop in. Of course that brings to mind...the food has to be delicious right? Of course!

    I ordered the Risotto! OM..effing...Gawd!!! It was killer! Our waitress had recommended it to me, since I was stuck on the fairly large menu of options. She mentioned I needed to not be 'boring' and she had just the right thing for me...couple of minutes later, I have a large hollowed out cheese ball with my Risotto sitting inside. She asked how much cheese I wanted...shaved away and served it up! It was delicious...oh and btw it has the ever-so-amazing truffle oil.

    Great service, good ambiance, and well worth the price..Ah, how could I almost forget..the wine list is pretty extensive as well! We had the Opollo Vineyard's Mountain Zin for around $45 bux, not too bad for a $30 bottle of wine!

    Thanks Galletto!

    Looks like this is a local favorite. Had a few good recommendation for Galleto.

    Service was good and perhaps a little too overattentive. They have a large drinks menu and an even larger and diverse food menu. A mix of Italian and South American which is not a common combo.

    The empanadas were very good. For the entree, I had the special T-Bone steak with risotto. This was huge and came with a lot of butter on top. It was more rare than medium which is what I had asked for. Decided to go for it since I was too hungry to wait. It was just OK and put me into a meat coma. I did not order dessert which is rare for me.

    It's amazing what can happen in in a short span of time.  I've been looking forward to coming here for dinner for two months, which is the last time I ate here.

    After that time, I NEVER thought I would give Galletto two stars!  This is my updated and third review, and in summary, all I can say is that the food is quite inconsistent!  It was the noisiest ever last night though we were eating our inferior meals before the band was even set up to play.

    My Dover sole...a bit over-cooked and expensive. The sides were mediocre.
    Friends' Rib eye...Both were thin and very over-cooked.
    The other beef dish was also over-cooked.

    Then it was time for dessert. We ordered bananas Foster and what was supposed to be a raspberry cheesecake, but instead of raspberries, it was the stuff you put in fruit cake to give it that fruit cake flavor. ALL disappointing! The worst bananas Foster ever, though the ice cream was good.  And, the cheesecake itself was tart, which was okay, but with the fruit cake candies, etc added, it was grim.

    I never mind paying high prices for great food, but rather resent it when the food is not so great.  The service was good, though we sensed the waiter was rushed.  And, the wine was very good

    The entire meal was dissatisfactory.  The wait staff was perhaps under-staffed; the chefs/cooks failed because they were [I guess] under the pressure of a busy night.  I suggest that management considers addressing these cardinal points.

    Because of my past, positive experiences eating here, I will probably give it another try.  But if it isn't up to par, that'll be the last time.

    Your boss would like to take you out for a meal and asks for a suggestion.

    Suggest Galletto!!

    Italian and Brazilian; now that's a combo never to forget. Our hostess was a sweet lady who spoke on and on, but we couldn't understand a word. Cute nonetheless. Our waiter was super gentle and helpful; the busboys filled our waters nonstop.

    I ordered a special: pollo al carbon and it did wonderful. I got the grilled veggies and roasted potatoes (a bit tough to chew) which I think was a better choice than the rice and beans. The green sauce and salsa-like combo was delish; my mouth is salivating just thinking about them.

    The portions are hefty, expected for meals that cost from $14 to $18. Wish I tried the steak choices as well which were within the same price range.

    The hostess immediately sat us outside in the corner by the flower bushes where I dodged flies throughout my meal; not the best way to enjoy a superb lunch. Wish she gave us more of an option considering the patio was nearly empty when we walked out.

    ALWAYS GREAT!

    Fun place!  I've been here a dozen or more times, in groups, on dates, for lunches, for dinners, business and pleasure, all enjoyed by all!  

    The food is a mixture of mediterranean & latin (or closer to Italian & Brazilan), which means meats and pastas, with lots of variety of sauces and seasonings.  Highly recommend!  Seafoods, steaks, pastas, salads --- you really can't go wrong here.  Perhaps for the most entertaining item, I would order the daily risotto as an appetizer to share at the table.  Rolling on a cart with wheels to your table, the risotto is inside of a HUGE 25 lb (or 50!) parmasean cheese-wheel.  They will ask if you want it light, medium, or heavy cheese, and scoop out the risotto with the amount of your requested cheese!  TRULY AMAZING!!  If you are lactose intolerant, take your pill beforehand!

    Some nights, they will have live music.  Very enjoyable place.  Full bar, great drafts - ready, set, go!

    I don't love this place. It is always loud, the outside area smells like landscaping (in the not-so-good fertilizer way) and it is always a crap shoot as to what kind of service you're going to get.

    The food is ok. Their menu is huge, so there are options for everyone (if you can get past the grammar errors). I think there are better restaurants in the area. By the way, their beans are not authentic tasting Brazilian beans.

    I LOVE THIS RESTAURANT.

    When I lived in Thousand Oaks, this was my favorite restaurant, and I've been living in San Francisco missing it for the past 8 months! I was able to stop by this past weekend and rekindle my love affair, and no surprise, it was amazing.

    One of the most important things you should know about Galletto is that they have the BEST SANGRIA I have ever had. Order a glass, or three, or a pitcher. If you bring a friend and they have never had sangria, make them drink it. Guaranteed winner. I have yet to find a sangria in another restaurant that I like more.

    My favorite dish here is the tortiglioni al funghi. It is heaven on a plate. Once again, I have never been able to find another Italian restaurant that replicates or compares to this dish. I always eat the whole thing whether I am full or not, and if you're not looking, I am probably eating any remaining pink sauce from the plate with bread.

    I had a really great tiramisu in this most recent visit as well. Very tasty, and they always have a lot of great dessert choices. Be prepared to leave full, because you will devour the bread and olive tapenade, your food, sangria and dessert (once they show it to you on a dessert tray and you can't say no).

    Galletto will provide amazing food, drinks and atmosphere, all you need to bring is the good company.

    Back when I was on the dating scene, I'd always have my first date guys take me here.

    This place is expensive enough to be considered a really nice place for a date, however, it's NOT so expensive that you feel obligated to blow the guy that takes you. It's certainly not cheap where you walk away feeling like you could have had a better meal just in case your potential suitor sucked at life, at least the food should be good enough to hold you over until the date's over. Well, I guess if your date is THAT bad, then maybe just walk away, run up to your waiter and tell him you'll take it all in a doggy-bag and leave it in the front, then bail.

    Anyway.

    I'm a huge fan of this place. Sometimes it's a bit crowded and noisy but most restaurants are. This place doesn't claim to be the epitome of elegance, and if you've ever hung around Brazilians, you know they're a bunch of loud asses as it is. The crowd tends to be in the 30-somethings, professionals, everything you'd expect from one of the more upscale restaurants in Westlake. AND THIS IS GREAT. I am sick of people my age (mid 20s) ruining all the good places because they want to be Toys R Us kids for the rest of their lives and never act appropriately. GET IT TOGETHER.

    I love their ceviche, I love their risotto (which I love the fact they put it in the parmesano wheel to serve it to you), I love their skirt steak salad, I love their braised ribs... I pretty much love everything here. The food is great, not overpriced considering the quality and portions and it's probably one of the better restaurants in the area. I've never been steered wrong when ordered a glass of wine - nothing. no complaints. everything here is pretty good.

    Great, now I want to go tonight... I just might.

    Table for 22, please?  

    We were treated to a delightful dinner on the patio Saturday night celebrating the graduation of my dear niece. This place is a bar & grill, supper club, Italian bistro and jazz club all rolled into one.

    While the cool jazz trio played, we dined on a mixed appetizer plaza of seared ahi, pizza, empanadas, calamari, marinated eggplant and salami. Everything was quite good.

    Our group had a choice of spaghetti, salmon farfalle or chicken piccata. All of e comments were positive. Nothing was spectacular but it was all quite tasty, hot, well prepared.

    Next visit, I will not miss the rissota.  It is placed hot into a carved out wheel of Parmesan and mixed and scraped so lots of cheese gets mixed in with the dish.  It must be their specialty because everybody was ordering it around us.

    A very cool place for a tasty dinner or drinks.

    I have some clients in Thousand Oaks and therefore have eaten at Galletto many times.  It lives in a strip mall in Westlake Village and therefore you might drive or walk by it without giving it a second thought.  This particular strip mall also boasts one of the two Fin's restaurants surprisingly.

    Galletto is a Brazilian/Italian grill with a generous menu that will satisfy  beef, fish and veggie lovers alike.  In addition to their bar, somewhat cramped internal space, they have a heated patio which is where most choose to sit.  

    Galletto has one of the best Risotto dishes I've had; anywhere.  The Risotto with porcini shitake & champignon mushroom sauce is ceremoniously brought to your table aside a huge cheese wheel.  As they poor the rice into the cheese wheel they ask whether you want it light, medium or heavy.  They scrape the sides of the wheel mixing the cheese directly into the rice.  The result is a warm party in your mouth.

    My husband almost always gets the Xixo Misto which they bring out on a large, oval plate with two brochettes (one beef, one chicken) with vegies, black beans and rice.  The brazilian spices on the brochettes bring out intense flavor and they always cook them perfectly.

    Last night, my dinner companion ordered the Sea Bass special which was delivered wrapped in foil.  The foil wrapping was clearly the secret to the once again perfect texture, temperature and taste of the fish.  On a separate plate were vegetables and rice.

    They make a tremendous caparina and their sangria rivals any that I've had in Spain.  Most nights they have live music.  The dining room can reach an ear bursting din during peak hours, so ask for a seat in the back if you're interested in having a conversation.

    Food 3.5
    Ambiance 3 - chilly legs on the patio
    Price - too high for what you get
    Service 2 -
    Bartender pours a Chevas Regal when the order was for the single malt scotch Lagavulin. After confronting the bartender, she said she was out of Lagavulin and just poured the CR.

    How to improve:
    Ask if guests need a lap blanket, especially on cool nights on the patio
    Educate your servers about the menu, food and drink.
    Large groups need extra attention, make sure they have it.
    Don't try to bamboozle the customer...at any time. Be honest.
    Be friendly,
    Remember, every guest is an opportunity to impress to return.

    Galletto is as good as a restaurant gets in this area.  The food and service have been consistently superior.  And, it's one of very few places in this sleepy neighborhood that even stays open until midnight.  

    I really like their Chicken empandas and XIXO (meat & vegetable skewers) dishes.  My favorite is the XIXO Picante: two brochettes of spicy Italian sausages, tomatoes, onions and chile pasilla, served over spaghetti with marinara sauce

    Galletto is the type of place where you go with a buddy for a late 2 hour dinner to catch up every couple of months.  Outside, it's located in the middle of a mall, so nothing special.  Inside, I get transported to a pub from my old college days in Boston.  

    Between appetizer, dinner, and drinks, you'll easily spend over $50 per person.  This is not a cheap place, but I think the value is very good for the experience, especially if you come with a good attitude.

    The food is great! The service...not so much. I hit this joint for happy hour a few times per month because they have a cool atmosphere and interesting menu. Also, there's Vera. She's a super-sweet FOB Brazillian that will certainly give you a hug and kiss if she's seen you more than once. You have an awkward conversation with her that's 1/5 English and 4/5 Portugese and then go on with your experience.

    The rest of the staff seem to be hired for their looks (read: monster boobs and/or tight bodies) rather than their serving skills. It seems like most of the regulars come back for the servers instead of the service.

    Anyway... Try the Brasi-ribs and certainly don't forget the happy hour sangria and/or caparinha (sp?). It's the best. I've also had various seafood dishes from their daily specials and I've never been disappointed. The specials don't have prices posted but with dinner and drinks, two can get out for ~$80.

    Who doesn't love bright green Chimichurri sauce on a perfectly grilled Bife Buenos Aires???

    I order the same thing every time, usually for lunch, just had it today.  

    Grilled skirt steak with black beans, sauteed veggies of the day, Brazilian tomato salsa, Chimichurri, and they serve this little bread crumb like stuff on the side.  

    The server/bartender has got a spicy personality which always makes for an entertaing meal.

    5 stars for Bife Buenos Aires!

    This is a nice mixture of Italian and Brazilian food.

    Though it can be pricey and they don't even have the dessert prices listed b/c they are about $8-9 + each. It runs from $6 for soup to average $16 for a meal. The meals are cheaper at lunch. At dinner they are more like $16+ for a meal. I really enjoyed the gnocchi which is about $12. The RAVIOLI WITH SPINACH AND RICOTTA is yummy!

    They have bread that they give you before your meal and they serve this dip/sauce concoction that has herbs and spices and is soooooo good! it's different than anything I have tried before and def. glad that I did.

    This is a nice, dressy/casual place. The music can be loud. They have nice patio seating outside which is very nice on a sunny and warm day outside. The inside is a bit dark.

    The service is decent. The waiters fill my water glass all the time! :D

    You can even do a lil shopping after wards, and def. check out the other restaurants surrounding they are all very good as well.
