I went with my family for a Saturday night dinner and the food was amazing and the service was great. We got seated right away and the food was brought out fresh and quickly. We really enjoyed

- mozzarella sticks were amazing
- cauliflower app also amazing: great tartar sauce pairing
- Mac and cheese was great but portion was on the small side
- menu is on iPad with no pictures (kind of cheapens the experience)
- paper napkins and bagged up beverage glasses
- Caesar salad had too many croutons - filler alert - nothing special
- arrabiata was very underwhelming; bathing in sauce and no real peppers just crushed peppers
- spaghetti should not be pre-cut
- ravioli tartuffe was great; generous portion but too saucy
- No salt and pepper on the table
- No additional follow-up by the waiter after the initial order was placed.

Went together with my husband and we were very impressed. We ordered the avocado salad, truffle risotto, and snapper, and loved the unique flavors. Everything was very fresh and the service was top notch. 10/10 recommend

This place was horrible. The owner is rude and said he only speaks french. We asked for wine and a soft drink. Took them 30 mins to bring to the table. Save your money. This is not a gem of surfside

Pass. We were excited for a nice dinner out and a bit surprised to find paper towels for napkins. Like white folded bathroom hand drying paper towels. We were excited for the Parmesan wheel pasta experience, where they flambé the pasta in the cheese wheel. Unfortunately there was an issue with the new cheese wheel passing the mashgiach’s expectations. We found other things to order and were clear about wha was appetizer and what was for mains. Salad, cauliflower and bruschetta to start. I made it clear that we wanted them first as our appetizer. To follow, we ordered 2 entrees and two kids pastas. Salad and bruschetta came out quickly followed by the cauliflower and an adult entree. I asked what it was (because it was a white looking pasta…we had ordered a pesto pasta). It was removed from the table, and then sent back to the table with explanation. I immediately expressed that we did not want the entrees as we had just been served the appetizers. The runner didn’t know what to do. So I asked for the waitress. Who never came. The second entree was then served, while in the middle of our appetizers. Although eating outside, I went in to find our waitress. She came out a few minutes later and removed the entrees. Then she brought newly made entrees at the appropriate time (finally). We were never checked on again. No water refills. No checking in. We had to beg for the check. The kids meals were supposed to come with ice cream but we could barely get the check, let alone dessert. 20% gratuity was automatically added to the bill. 20% is for food service, but getting anyone to respond to us was impossible so we paid the bill and got on with life. We certainly won’t return, nor recommend this place to anyone. Spend your money elsewhere.

We made a reservation through the phone came and had no table available for us, after inquiring we were given no information as to where or when we will be seated. Left with no food terrible service, got yelled at for being impatient when it’s the restaurants responsibility to provide clarity.

We were really excited to try this restaurant, but unfortunately it was an underwhelming experience. They did not have the parmesan wheel available and the other pasta that we ordered was not fresh pasta, which is what we were expecting. The craziest part of the whole thing was that they didn't have any bathrooms!! All that aside, service was great and the atmosphere was too.

The resteruant was not packed and was extremely good food! The service here was a 10/10 and the staff offers to change the wine bottle for free, cooked the food on a uncooked dish and was always paying attention if we were satisfied! Highly recommended

Great spot. Came on a packed Saturday night and our waiter Edwin took care of us, did a fantastic job and ensured quick service. Fromaggi risotto, Caesar salad and ravioli fungi. Great for a fast bite on a motzei Shabbat.

Quiet, wonderful, and amazing experience.
The hosts were very welcoming and generous, good portions and beautiful flavour to all the food. We got the mozarella sticks and cheese wheel pasta, and it was delicious.
Highly recommend.
