Finally made it to 9 Ryder and had a very nice night having dinner with a friend. We had the insalata mista, which was a very basic mixed greens salad. The description called it a lavender maple vinaigrette; however, I tasted neither in the dressing which read more like a balsamic. We also tried the special of figs stuffed with Gorgonzola and wrapped in prosciutto, which were delicious. For our entrees I had the lasagna, which was very good, and my friend had the stuffed flounder, which he raved about. The end of the meal limoncello shots were a great touch. The setting is kitschy and the staff is great. Location is beautiful if still light out. Will be back.

We had a reservation and yet got the worst table, despite other empty tables. The service was very rude and aloof. Would never go back there!

Shabby chic ambiance. Cute atmosphere. Service was okay, but a bit aloof. This place was recommended by a local, so we went on a whim after seeing a show nearby. Big mistake. The chef must have high blood pressure because nothing was salted properly. Each and every dish was just crying for some salt. Had the zucchini appetizer which was okay. Fried for too long but tasty enough. Veal cutlet was practically flavourless - again, desperately lacking salt. The accompanying pasta also lacked salt. What exactly is going on here? The aversion to seasoning is truly bizarre. The carbonara was the worst offender. Carbonara should be creamy and made with guanicale. This was not creamy - no egg yolk obviously. And it was made with regular bacon that you’d fry alongside eggs in a roadside diner. A complete disaster. The portions are very American - far too large. Huge portions don’t make up for the lack of quality or flavour. It pains me to write this but even the Cheesecake Factory is better than this. Disappointing all around. Back to the drawing board. And expensive to boot. Yikes.

This is, by far, one of the most enjoyable experiences. There were 7 of us. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. The hostess, Miley, told us stories and welcomed us. The food was exquisite. We had adults and 20 somethings. The stories were so engaging that I felt, from time to time, that I was perhaps on the coast of Italy than Provincetown, MA. Family owned truly made a family feel welcomed. I highly recommend this quaint restaurant for all!

Charming little restaurant! Feels far from touristy. Great menu and wine selection. For us, the highlights were the Polpette meatballs appetizer, the limoncello cake and chocolate mousse. Plus the incredible San Michele Valpolicella Ripaso red wine. And oh yes, the side of mushrooms. All were simply excellent. The Calamari Imbottiti (stuffed squid) and the Sogliola Imbottiti (stuffed flounder) were both very good, yet just needed that something extra. Slightly bland and too much breadcrumbs sorry to say. Did very much enjoy our server and everyone is very sweet and polite.

This is hands down the most disgusting Italian food I’ve ever eaten. Pasta was overcooked and lacked flavor. My steak came out well done after I’ve asked for medium-rare. Been coming here for about 10 years, but this was definitely my last time. $200 for 2 people and we both hated our food. And there were also ants in our bread. What a disaster.

The restaurant was only 1/2 full, but still the food took 2 hours. I asked for my martini shaken. The bartender explained that he has made thousands and he has never shake once. He then came over to my table and asked how it was. When I explained that it was fine, but not what I wanted, he began to argue with me. I asked him to leave the table multiple times.
The waiter explained that the bartender has all the power and that nobody else matters.

The most unassuming building in a parking lot against the sea, this was the best meal I've ever had in my entire life, to the point where I was holding back tears at one point- Incredible experience. Will definitely be back!
Avoid this place. Bill is miserable and wants everyone else to be miserable too. He publicly humiliated two elderly women this weekend. I wish I could reach out and make sure they’re okay. If either of you ladies read this, please know you have the right to report this man to elder services. We will never again go near this restaurant. Totally disgusting.

Bartender publicly humiliated two older women. It was horrible and disturbing.

Nice ambience when you walk in the door and then it was downhill from there. The hostess looked annoyed when seating us at our table and the waitress was not engaging with minimal eye contact. Three tables were seated after we arrived and we were basically ignored receiving drinks like 20 minutes later when the other tables had been served appetizers. When I asked if we could order I got an another annoyed look. The, "special ," with cod looked like a defrosted filet with no presentation. The spaghetti carbonara had greasy bacon in it, not crispy. Waitress did not come back to ask if we wanted anything else or how was everything? My husband and I couldn't wait to get out of there. Maybe I expected too much.

The food was mediocre. The service was so bad. Our server rolled her eyes and waved her hands at us. I've never seen anything like it nor have I ever been treated like this. One comment to us was "if I remember" and another time she said " I only have two hands". awful awful.
