I was hoping this would be your local neighborhood Italian restaurant. This wasn't that. Shellfish was not fresh. The piccata sauce was bland. Overall a big disappointment.

Lovely time as usual. Samie & Staff assured our every need and want for Sharon's Birthday. From a warm welcome on arrival through dessert, all wad perfect!

The regular menu had a number of good choices, and there were several interesting daily specials. Everything we tried was delicious. The server was knowledgeable and helpful. The atmosphere was very pleasant.

Having never been there before, I was pleasantly surprised at the restaurant. The capacity for guests is not large, and it was nice to feel relaxed. There were three Birthday folks at our table, they all enjoyed our little celebration party. The food was excellent, and I am a picky eater. The menu was not "run of the mill Italian", a lot of thought went into the recipes. I would definitely go there again.

Excellent dinner, first time going there and definitely won't be the last. Service was top tier and the food was to die for, thank you for a wonderful experience!

From the second you walk in you are welcome with an awesome owner who's funny and charismatic. The food was fantastic. The Veal Marsala was next level and the spaghetti was perfect. Everything was delicious. Definitely found our new goto spot

Excellent food, but the dessert was not good. The service was very good, and we will definitely return to try other dishes.

Lewis

Food flavor was great, but the noodles in the lasagna was a little over cooked. Luther than that everything was great.

I ordered the Fruiti de Mari and got food poisoning. The service was good, the food was ok, all in all, we had a pretty good experience until the vomiting started. I was sick and couldn’t eat for two days, unfortunately one of those days was thanksgiving. To be fare, nobody else got sick.

It's our first time here and it did not disappoint!! I asked for the tortellini with the pesto sauce instead of the cream sauce and the answer was "No Problem"... which was the right answer!! 😀 Steve and Staff were fantastic!!

Stephen took care of service for myself and my wife for whom he did an excellent job. I had the pescatore spagetti and my wife had the lobster ravioli for which she loves it. Their desserts are all mouth watering but had to pass as we were already full.

Sammy is the best waitress I have ever had. We had her one time, and she remembered our order months later. She is so kind and because of her, we are regulars. We have tried multiple dishes here and haven't had anything worse than fantastic. The veal melts in your mouth, the cheese tortellini are so delicious. 10/10
