Met another couple. Neither couple had been there before.
Beautiful place. Owner greeting. Excellent service.
Many drink and wine specials.
Two of us had pasta with clams. Small portion of Perfectly cooked pasta in clam juice topped with tiny clams in shell. Tasted great but I prefer minced clams in sauce and then topping with more parsley.
Wife had Shrimp Scampi over large portion of angel hair pasta. Delicious with very many large shrimp. Other spouse had chicken Marsala which he didn’t care for because it had little flavor.
The menu had typical selections but the daily specials were more epicurean but only available on specific days.
Cocktails and wines were very good and bread was crusty but light and dipped well into sauces. Prices were nominal.
I would have given a higher rating if my friend had enjoyed the Marsala and if the more unique dishes were available on the regular menu

Great service! We were seated right away and our server came up to our table introduced himself and took our drink order. For dinner we shared the mussels in a marinare sauce which were cooked perfectly and sobtender. The sauce was delicious ..very flavorful. My husband soaked up the sauce with 4 pieces of the house bread . For main entrée i had fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and my husband had rigatoni Alfredo with sausage..both wrre outstanding. Pasta cooked al dente... not overly sauced, portions were more towards the large side.Compliments to the kitchen. At the end of our meal the server explained the desserts..which allvm looked and sounded delicious..however we were just too full. Would definitely come back when visiting Amelia Island. No outdoor seating. available

We were looking for a good pizza on our last night in the area, and, because it was a Sunday, many restaurants were closed. We decided to try this place as an afterthought. How wrong we were!!! I’m writing for others like me looking for exceptional pizza. Real San marzano sauce, real buffalo mozzarella, and real fresh basil. This place nailed it!!! The crispy super thin crust is the perfect accompaniment. It adds substance but doesn’t detract from the simple, quality ingredients. On top of that, we tried the prosciutto cantaloupe appetizer. Sounds crazy, but I’m glad we did! Service is experienced & attentive. HIGHLY recommend this place! Might actually make the drive from Sanford just to have it again…

Man this place was awesome. Some of the best Pasta I've ever had. Dessert was Amazing. Best meal we had in Amelia Island. Italian salad and ceasar salad were delicious. Rigatoni dish and the pasta dish with bowties was outstanding. Go here if you want dinner!

Delicious best sauce I have ever had and I do not like red sauce! Our plates were empty bellies full! We had the shrimp scampi , pink sauce with prosciutto added , fettuccine Alfredo , and I got shrimp and scallops in red sauce I’m allergic to dairy …. It wasn’t missing a thing !!!!!! A must try !

Beautiful quaint family owned restaurant in the heart of Fernandina. Caters to small or large groups. Food was fantastic (we had the fettuccine Alfredo and eggplant parmigiana) with a glass of the house Cabernet and moscato. The portions were perfect and served hot. Finished the meal with a chocolate chip cannoli and espresso. Highly recommended.

Whenever we are in Fernandina Beach, we go here for top notch food, drinks, service and
atmosphere. My hubby's favorite go-to dish is Spaghetti with clams. I haven't had the same dish twice yet and have loved them all. We ALWAYS look forward to our dinner here.

Recommended by a friend, but sadly disappointing. Loud, large, impersonal, and hurried, with tasty but uninspiring dishes. My side of pasta was so small that it seemed to have been rationed out for the balance of the weekend. My partner and I felt as if we were simply rushed through to clear a space for the next family of tourists.
