"We're enjoyed both excellent food and service of this place. I loved my birthday experience at the nostalgic atmosphere of Universal."
Flavio Higino
"The IT spot for lunch. This place gets packed with an upscale crowd. I think it was still restaurant week when we were there so there were tons of people having bottles of wine with lunch. Muito italiano of them!
The multiple menus were a bit confusing but there was a hostess/manager who spoke English and explained them to our group. The normal menu is definitely pricey (30+USD for entrees) but the executivo lunch menu is well priced under 20 USD.
The service was excellent and attentive and the vibe was well…super vibey and chique. Definitely the place to come to glam up with insta and MySpace profiles."
J Kru
"The food was amazing. The atmosphere was incredible and the service was outstanding, Roni was the waiter that helped us out and made the experience even better. I personally recommend EVERYONE that wants to have a proper lunch or diner delight to check Universal out. Simply off the wall."
