I judge my breaking how good potato’s are. Hot and crispy not burnt. Coffee was so good. Had the lox onion omelette. Generous portions of lox. Sorry started before I had a chance to take photos. Support family owned businesses ?Maria was so friendly and accommodating. Thank you

This place is a scam. Avoid at all costs. Tense atmosphere, no free water, bad food, unpleasant waitstaff. Waiter dropped a fork on me.

Unsure why this place has such mixed reviews.
I've been here with my husband a few times, and everything is always delicious, hot, and the staff is kind and attentive.

Stopped in for a quick bite. The server, Tom was excellent as was the young lady behind the espresso bar. Asked for a fruit bowl to go for my wife who was crazing good fruits. The fruit was fresh and the bowl was a good size for the order. Also had an espresso long. Having just come home form a vacation in Italy, this was a nice cafe to get some good quality food and a good espresso. Thank you

All of the food we ordered looked like it was cooked in the microwave and the color of the meatballs and chicken were gray. Bugs flying everywhere and bug zappers visible throughout. Are the dead bugs supposed to land in our food? Punitive signs posted for paying customers denying them the option to wait on a line for the bathroom if needed. No refills on drinks. Don’t waste your time. Walk a few more feet to the food court. Would give less than 1 star if could overall. Server was nice- not enough to redeem this place.

I had breakfast the other day, and let’s just say it was a terrible experience. To start off, hearing the way the manager talk to her staff was absolutely disgusting. She was yelling the entire time, just making everyone uncomfortable. I don’t know how she is okay with herself treating her employers like that, but we continued to eat. A water is $3.50!! They do not offer tap water… so if you want to order a water off the hot boardwalk do not come here!! The food was okay, but the prices are not worth it. Do not give this place a dime… if a manger can treat her staff like that then they do not deserve business. I am disgusted and so was my husband, if you are on the boardwalk keep walking!
Reply: This exactly what I mean!!! “Cheap and ungrateful” yet charges her water $3.50. This review was mostly due to the treatment of her staff, yet that has not been addressed. If you talk to customers like that, wonder how badly the staff gets treated. No one wants to sit down for a nice breakfast and hear constant yelling!!
I love Italian food, expressly anything with pesto. With this being one of the few Italian restaurants on the board walk, which serves more than just pizza, I was excited to try.
The bread sticks were disappointing, and the pesto pasta wasn't what I expected and ended up taking it to go to throw it away to not insult the restaurant. However, this wasn't the worst part.
The waitress was very kind up until we went to leave when we found the tips were cash only. As unusual as this is, i would have expected a large sign outside the store and for the waitstaff to inform me of this before i ordered anything. This is incredibly inconvenient and something we should be past in 2024. I can only think the reason for this would be that the employees are working here illegally, or they are escaping, having to pay taxes, and also illegal.
Regardless, I would not have eaten here if I had known the tips were cash only, as I am a generous tipper and only had a credit card that worked to pay the bill, but I had no way to get cash even from an ATM, which the restaurantdoesnt have. It was incredibly embarrassing to have one of the employees speak to me so condescending and even follow me out the restaurant several feet while adressing me infront of the public about not tipping and asking that I go to an ATM at another business, which would charge a fee and only allowed for $20 bills.
I think that with a few changes, like the ability to have tips given by card, and raising the quality of the food even if it's more expensive this board walk would really benefit from a goof Italian restaurant.
For the owner, please read the many reviews of your business that are negative because these are literally giving you the answers to how to make your business more successful. I can see people have been talking about the same things for years, so stop being stubborn and grow the business!!

DO NOT COME! The recent reviews speak for themselves!!!! The food was not good at all, the garlic bread they served was dry and the pesto pasta was overcooked. The waiters are rude people with no sense of customer service or manners. They will only accept cash tips. They should probably let you know this up front, in case you are not carrying cash, you should not force customers into this. Anyway I'm glad we couldn't leave a tip, because they don't deserve it!

For what we ordered, it was exceptionally overpriced. No water unless you wanted to buy a small bottle at ball park prices. Portions were small. $9 single pancake for my son was burnt. Espresso based beverages were weak and more expensive than Starbucks. Tourist trap

We stopped here for dinner 8/12/24. Although pasta isn't something you think of while at the shore, but stop in and have a great dinner. Service was friendly and super helpful. I had the lobster ravoli and it was perfect ?. My husband had the chicken alfredo with fettuccine. Both were cooked perfectly and were plentiful. Both of us could not finish us our meals. Great place to cool down, relax, enjoy the beautiful ocean views, and have a delicious dinner.

You cannot force charge customer for “meat lovers” on a breakfast sandwich when they order a sausage egg and cheese. That’s a single meat. What’s loving about that. Please reconfigure your point of sale software system and properly train your staff. A sausage egg and cheese on a round roll at this price point needs to also be much better and not so soggy. Clearly price guanging tourists. I’m going to inquire the IRS as well since so many places down here rip people off and don’t claim the appropriate taxes when filing. Congratulations.
Hi, are you hiring?
The service was fantastic, the food excellent, and the atmosphere is a lovely getaway from the boardwalk bustle.
