This place is definitely worth trying. Every time we go there, I get something different, and they never disappoint. The owner, Anthony, is very sweet and personable. He greets and chats with everyone who dines there. His staff is great as well.

My meal was not appetizing, I actually threw it out. Maybe the chef could not cook osso bucco. The meat was tough and not

Went on new years, waitress looked like she didn't want to be there, i said its new years eve try smiling, she didn't even offer her name. We both ordered the bronzino. When it came you couldn't see the fish as it was smothered in peppers onions and whatever else they had i guess lol. It was also drowning in olive oil omg TOO MUCH OLIVE OIL, ridiculous. We mentioned it to the owner and she said she puts oil on everything. Well maybe you need to listen to your customers. Just because your using excessive olive oil doesn't make it more italian smh. We have had this fish at many other restaurants, and this had to be the worst. We will never go back, terrible experience.

Interesting old school Italian restaurant that needs a few fixes. First off, food is very good here. I wish entrees came with a small salad like the old school places always do but not here. Bar side of the place is more happening. Dining room side is nice but kind of a boring atmosphere. The music they play has to be upgraded, it's so outdated and painful to listen to while you are trying to eat. I've been here twice but probably won't ever sit in the dining side again just because the music hurts your ears and brain. Also there is a wine fridge smack in the front of the dining room, it has the brightest white lights inside of it that blind anyone in the dining room who don't have their back to it. The entire meal imagine awful music and blinding light in your eyes. Management please turn off the light inside the wine fridge and update the music, it's not 1931. Another weird thing here is they keep the front door wide open to the street, it's the middle of winter so anytime someone new enters the place a blast of frigid air fills the dining room. These are all annoying things that are easily fixed, turn off wine fridge light, update the cheesy old Italian worn out soundtrack and close the front door so people aren't freezing Inside. The food here is very good. Good flavor and execution. Portions are decent sized but for the prices should come with a salad. Service is ok but servers should come around to the table more often. We had a 30 minute gap trying to get our check which was odd since the place was practically empty. Atmosphere is important in a place that has good food. A few minor tweaks could make this place better. 4 stars because the food tastes good, could be 5 with tweaks mentioned. Go try this place!!!

My husband and I go out for dinner almost every weekend. I have to say this was one of the worst meals I have ever had. I ordered the Veal Saltimbocca last night. It was horrible. It was like shoe leather. Could barely cut it. I told the owner and he said if they cut it wrong it could be tough, then he offered me a dessert for a $36. meal. I told him no thank you and left. Will not go there again. They should have done the right thing and taken it off the bill. My husband's chicken parm was also burnt, but he refuses to ever say anything. Beware.

We were walking down Main Street in Bradley Beach while checking out reviews for dinner. We decided to give this place a try and so glad we did. You can choose sitting in the bar area with a guitar player this evening or go into the dining area for a more intimate dining. We were greeted with warm rolls and olive oil with some parsley to dip. There were so many choices I had the special which was halibut over polenta with a side of mixed vegetables. Hubby ordered the Branzino. We were both very pleased with our choices. We will definitely be back!

Absolutely delicious Italian restaurant that made me feel like I was eating a home cooked meal that my mom made. Warm and nostalgic atmosphere, amazing and attentive staff.We shared the antipasto salad - which was loaded with meats and cheeses. It was so fresh and tasty. My husband had the filet mignon and was very pleased. I had the chicken parmesan. The sauce was a rich, Sunday Supper sauce. It was really very good. I love it here and can't wait to go back.
