Nothing special for the prices. Calamari was mostly tentacles offered hot peppers in it for a few dollar more. Great way to up sale while most restaurants just give them to you. Pork chop was a little tough like it was reheated. Chicken Marcella was not bad. Sirloin steak was good. I have been going to this restaurant way back when they were in Bridgeport. It was always good. New owners took over, maybe they are trying to get it straight. I'll try it again in a few months

We've been fortunate to eat all over the world including at Michelin rated restaurants here and abroad and so we know what we're talking about when we say this place is awesome. The food is absolutely spectacular and the service was wonderful. We had a new waitstaff member and we know this because she told us and was completely honest with us about recommendations on the menu and urged us to try items that we otherwise wouldn't have. What a meal it turned out to be. The four of us all ordered different items and I tentatively ordered a steak because I've had bad luck getting steak in Connecticut lately and all I can say is this chef knows how to select meat and cook it. Absolutely delicious. The only problem is sometimes getting a reservation because it's not a huge place so it fills up. It has to be one of the true hidden gems of Connecticut.

Did not know until we got there that it was under new ownership..decided to give it a shot..not very crowded and service was very slow..food came out cold I ordered fish and my husband linguini and clam sauce..much smaller portions than original and the quality of food was just ok ..when we told the server our food was cold he said he would take care of it ..he went into the kitchen and all we heard was yelling .he came out and basically told us our food was not cold ..he did bring one dessert to the table .Needless to say we will not be going back!

Under new ownership... And it shows. Not even close to the original. Very slow service. It wasn't even that busy. Food is now average after a long wait to get it. After I got home, I noticed I was charged twice for a 1/2 portion of pasta.$14!!! It was way undercooked and a 1/2 portion you can cup your hands and hold it all. One of the desserts we ordered on the waiter's recommendation
was inedible and sent back. Very disappointing, as we used to be there all the time, needless to say, we won't be back. Go to Lafortuna, Ritrovo, Emma's Pavillion or Antonio's original. All of these never disappoint.

Went to celebrate our sister’s birthday and it did not disappoint. From drinks to appetizers, entrees to desserts everything was amazing. The staff was friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was great. It was my first time there, but it definitely will not be my last!

Our first time here. I like the casual chill atmosphere. We also, really liked our server. The food was just ok. Also, if you’d like to make any changes, buyer beware. It’s an extra $10 for “housemade” spaghetti - half a portion, but they don’t tell you up front. You have to ask. I’ve had “house made fresh pasta” and they don’t charge extra it just comes that way!
