I went here on a Thursday night to celebrate my friend's birthday. This is an excellent restaurant to go to for a special event. I had an excellent time. The ambiance is exquisite. The service is more than just great, it was top notch. Food was delicious too. I would go here again

Everything was great and will definitely be returning. our server Kyle was amazing. All of our food came out at the same time and was delicious. The atmosphere was great with views of the boats and water.

Service, ambiance, food ... all excellent. They have a Groupon available and that's how I found this place. Groupon or not, I will surely be visiting more often!

We attended dinner on a Saturday night in March with rain and wind. The restaurant still had a spectacular feel and cozy atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious and I'm a good snob since my parents were born in Italy and I grew up in the city. The service was the icing on the cake. Our waitress, Rosa was patient, kind, and gave us top notch service. She made the experience better for us that evening. Family style restaurants are difficult when you go out with a mixed group and she was great. I never write reviews but I felt this restaurant deserved my time and attention. Thank you

The outdoors under the canopy dining area is nice and quiet with music playing at a reasonable volume. The wait staff is very invested in making sure you're happy with the food and they don't hesitate to replace a dish you didn't like.The house salad with their home made vinaigrette was very good and they added some cranberries when we asked.The calamari was well prepared with a texture that is less rubbery than usual. The breading is very light and crispy. It's a bit saltier than my preference, but i enjoyed it anyway. Afterwards they said that can be changed the next time I order.The linguini with white clam sauce uses minced clams and has an underlying spiciness that gives it more of a kick than usual. If this is not to your liking, just tell them when you order.The Wallstreet ravioli is in a thiick smooth carbonara with aromatic pancetta and a truffle oil reduction that you can smell from across the table (this is not a bad thing). It's decadent and heavy with many complex flavor notes.All the dishes can be modified to your taste when you order. The portions are also very generous. We got 1/2 orders of everything and still brought food home.Dessert was a pistachio tartufo and a Bomba ice-cream ball. Both were served quartered with whipped cream. Very enjoyable.

I had bought a Groupon to this place after seeing so many positive reviews about this place. I can honestly say it did not disappoint! Reasonably priced and with the Groupon we enjoyed a great dinner at a great price. Our waiter John was so attentive and polite without being obtrusive. We ordered a veal and a chicken dish. The portions were very good however entrees do not come with a side dish. We ordered the broccoli rabe which was served family style. I always judge the caliber of an italian restaurant by it's bread and b rabe. lol ..bread was served crispy and warm and the b rabe was perfect- not bitter but not blanched. Just like I make at home. We enjoyed it so much I bought another Groupon and plan to go back! Can't wait to visit this place on a summer night, sit by the water and enjoy a nice meal.

I've been coming here for many years. Food is usually pretty good. Chicken Masala was overcooked and dry, baked clams tasted like dry breadcrumbs ,cold antipasto salad was good ,shrimp dish was disappointing, chicken parmigiana and the veal dish were good. For the money I paid, I would expect a better experience.Parking: The parking lot is very small, usually have to park on the street.

Dinner was wonderful. Definitely recommend the rigatoni ala vodka - pasta was cooked perfectly and sauce was creamy and delicious. We had a minor issue with the quality of one of our dishes and it was promptly taken away and removed from the check. Service was top notch!
