Excellent service. Rain or shine the staff and food is amazing!! Even though the seating is outside and there was a small rain shower the staff was more than accommodating! Can’t wait to go again on a nicer night. Would definitely recommend!!

We were looking forward to trying this restaurant during a family visit. I was a bit disappointed. My husband and I ordered the Lobster Fra Diavolo and although very tasty, the dish had very little lobster, the main ingredient. It was primarily pasta with an abundance of red sauce. This dish was not served with any side. The wait staff did bring a basket of bread when asked. The bread was necessary to soak up the sauce. Our son however, was pleased with his baked stuffed lobster which was served with a starch and veggie. The Lava cake was very nice, although another disappointment was when we asked for coffee and was told that there wasn't any made that evening. Granted, it was hot that evening but a cup of decaf with the cake would have been nice. Over priced. The best part was the lovely views of the harbor.

Really looked forward to dining here. Although reviews were mixed, we decided to try. What a disaster! We arrived early to find the place empty (first red flag). Server wasn't too interested in serving, evidenced by his lack of timing, professionalism, and competence ( second red flag). Next were the meals, equally disappointing. How can you create such tasteless cuisine, and stay in business? Guess folks were enamored with the al fresco dining? We won't even go there.. If you're in town, and NOT hungry, want to dine in uncomfortable seating, and be poorly served, you've found the right place. There are several dining establishments more deserving of your business in Winthrop. Skip this one!

Meatball were delicious very lite garlic . Stuffed artichoke better than my nonni

The atmosphere, decor, food and staff were impeccable. Not in years have I felt compelled to rate and review my experience while dining out, but my fiance and I were amazed with just how memorable our time there was. From the moment we walked in the quaint and cozy venue I knew we had chosen the perfect place. We were made to feel like family, not patrons and the food was on a level we've yet to experience anywhere else- at any price.

We visited with another couple on a warm September night. We were told that the outdoor seating was not open so we were escorted to a table in a small room with a bar. We started with an Italian cheese and cold cut platter. This was authentic Italian at its best. The assorted Italian cheeses and meats were as good as the ones I had in Italy, we also shared a stuffed artichoke, equally classic Italian. For dinners we had a crab gravy over linguini, bolognese sauce with pasta, sausage and rabe over pasta and chicken saltimbocca. These dishes were good, not great. A ricotta cheesecake completed our meal. Our waiter was very attentive.

The owners are a delite! They will gladly make you anything you want. Rosemary has a knack for cooking and she lives to cook! A must go to place!

Fun night right on the water. Wait staff was excellent and the food was excellent. There was live music too.

We had a wonderful anniversary dinner! Authentic Italian food. Home made pasta. Fresh ingredients. Owner/family onsite and working in the restaurant. Very friendly atmosphere. Very European feel.

We didn't have reservations to eat outside. They accommodated the three of us, sat us, then took a while to even take our drink order. The pasta entrees were okay but nothing special. The portion sizes were large. Plenty to eat if it was worth eating. Unfortunately, we ordered cheesecake. The top was completely covered in whipped cream which hid the burned black top. It was so overcooked and dry our 10 year old refused to eat it! I'll not go back.

Went to Go Go the other night for my Birthday and the food was excellent!

Went to go go's a month ago and was surprised that the outdoor dinning is in a parking lot with some pavement and some asphalt . The table I ate at was like an end table and we had cheap plastic chairs like you would have in a back yard. My wife and I were surprised that even though I had made reservations and asked to sit in the nicer table by the ocean and had requested it when I made reservations the owner had said that they were booked and we couldn't sit there even though by the time we left no one had ever sat at the 4 empty tables that I asked that we could sit at.

A group of us had a celebratory dinner at GoGo's recently, and we all found the experience pleasant — lively, hospitable, voluble owner-cook, who makes all the pasta fresh on the spot. The food is served on tables out by the water, with a pretty view of the downtown Boston skyline across the way. All the dishes we ordered were serviceably good if not smashingly brilliant — arancini, steamed clams, stiuffed artichoke, panzanella salad, several kinds of pasta including one served wtih broccoli rabe and sausage, another with a bolognese sauce, one with a seafood in cream sauce, etc. A nice evening….
