When I arrived, I was pleasantly greeted by the hostess. I told her I would be seated at the bar and she told me to enjoy my food. When I sat down at the bar, again I was immediately greeted by the bartender and asked if I would be eating and what would I like to drink. I ordered and was served promptly. My food was delivered (Chicken Milanese and a side of pasta puttanesca) piping hot and delicious. My co-diners had a bowl of N.E. Chowder, a Stuffie, Chicken Parm with pasta and a special of Pasta and Clam Sauce fra daviolo style. We all enjoyed are food, the portions were great and the seasonings/taste was deliciousssss. We will be back.

Saw Dave Portnoy and had amazing food. Wish I can go here again.

The spaghetti’s marinara sauce was watery causing the pasta to be soggy. It also came out lukewarm, very disappointing.

Food and service were great. Can't wait to get back to block to go again.

Attempted to order twice from these folks and walked away twice. The first time was in person and the bartender was uninterested in taking an order to go. After multiple other patrons, I had to leave. I then called later on that night and asked if I could order a large pizza half cheese and half pepperoni. They told me with attitude I would have to order two medium or two large after telling me I could order a half pizza. I could have understood if I made it complicated, but it doesn’t get more basic.

While we were sitting at our table waiting for the bill, a staff member (not our server) came up to us saying “I hate to be that guy, but are you leaving because I have another party waiting”. We had only been there an hour. I told him we were waiting for the bill (actually for my card to come back from the server). I felt insulted - being rushed out only having just finished eating and waiting to pay. He offered no apology - just walked away. Then as I was paying the bill I flagged him down and told him we were leaving. He then said I didn’t have to tell him that and then called me a “fuc$&ing As&$hole”. I asked his name and he said “Aldo…good luck with that”. Unbelievable that he would call a customer names - with that kind of language - in front of everyone in the restaurant. I didn’t deserve that - at all. I wonder if he was on something…or maybe just having a really bad day. Been there many many times over many years. But no more after that bizarre experience with “Aldo”. No one should be treated that way, let alone your long-time (now ex) customer.
I ordered an ice cream cake for my son’s birthday a week before we came for our vacation…arrived and waiting 15 minutes because it wasn’t ready. Paid $43 dollars and on his birthday also found out it’s not an ice cream cake at all. I asked specifically when I picked it up if it was because I was skeptical. I want my money back and will never order anything from this place again. Rhode Island native and have been coming to this island for 25 years. You’re better off at the grocery.

The arugula, ricotta, and prosciutto pizza was very good but the vodka rigatoni tasted like the sauce came from a jar. I have had a better frozen meal from a supermarket. Being from the tristate area where a local pizzeria makes more than satisfactory pasta it was a huge disappointment to spend 25 dollars on a very small serving of tasteless pasta.

Wanted to stop for a quick bite on the way to the ferry but my friend and I were rudely told we couldn’t eat here until I put a more covering shirt on! To preface this I was wearing a crop top and while it is clearly posted that no swimsuit tops are allowed and to wear a shirt I assumed a crop top didn’t qualify as not a correct shirt! I’m all for dress codes but the dress codes should be clearly written with caveats for certain types of shirts.

Favorite restaurant on the island. Don't expect crazy high end food, but really good Italian cuisine for a good price. Service was very quick for a holiday weekend at lunch. Super laid back and awesome employees.

Delicious food !!! The spinach pie and the pesto pasta was very good. Prices are very fair and the staff were so friendly and nice. They have TVs on the bar area. They had the Red Sox game on one tv and changed the channel so I could watch my soccer game. I was very surprised lol and grateful. Will definitely be back.
Kid-friendliness: They have options for kids in menu and it’s a family friendly restaurant.
