Food is delicious !! Everyone in my party loved their meals. We ordered the fried calamari appetizer (4 people shared it ). The mussels were delicious !! Shrimp piccata with linguine (Yummmm ). Dinner portions were very generous !! Very warm and relaxing atmosphere. Wait staff was wonderful !! I highly recommend this restaurant. You won't be disappointed !!

We always sit at a high top in the bar because we like the action there. Our food was great! Service was impeccable and the vibe awesome.

My boyfriend took me here as a surprise and Wow, we had such an amazing time! Our waiter was chill and super helpful. We had the lobster fra diavolo, which was divine. It comes in the pan it was cooked in, so you get to enjoy a steaming hot meal from begging to end. The seafood was tenderly cooked and delectable. The sauce was earthy and perfectly spicy. Our table neighbors were nice and friendly/ chatty. We truly had a fun night out.

Had a lovely lunch here. The crab cakes on an arugula salad was perfection! Sadly, they did not have fresh brewed iced tea. Service was good, I think we were there at an off time, because it wasn't very busy on a Sunday afternoon. The seafood smell was so strong on walking in it was almost a little off-putting, but hey, what were we there for but some seafood? I'd definitely go here again.

Yes! If you're in Newport and want FRESH seafood...go here. My husband and I went for the Lobster al Diavolo....Worth it! It's a dish made for two and we confirmed it!! All the seafood was great and the marinara had a slight bite to it!! Definitely going back. Best to go early when they open if you don't want to wait for a table just walking in.

The place looked nice inside but we decided to eat outside. There was a few hiccups with service which included lack of utensils and napkins once our appetizer and then meal arrived. Menu was obscure of detail and no price if was listed. We had to use our phones to get more details and "market prices". Drinks were delivered and were pleasantly good. Server brought water and bread maybe as a peace offering but the bread was best served to seagulls. I had calamari scampi and wife had shrimp scampi. Hers was delivered on a plate mine was served in a pan which I thought was odd. The cheese and flavorings were stuck to bottom. The calamari was decent but the linguine was a little to all dente for my liking.

stopped in for a light dinner with the family. Love the open kitchen concept. A bit of a wait even though some tables were empty and ready for patrons? Friendly wait staff. ordered some Oysters, shrimp cocktail and crab claws as an app. and everything tasted very good. For dinner it was a small order of linguine with red sauce, Shrimp scampi and a spicey tuna roll, again very good. Portion sizes were on the small side but not to overpriced. Recommend

I had one of the best meals and experiences here! From the entrance to the depart the staff was super welcoming and attentive. Came here on the last weekend they were opened for the year, and was happily surprised. Highlights we're the grilled octopus and the raw oysters with 0 grit, and their sauce with the mussels. Their grilled octopus was probably the best I've ever had, being so meaty and tender but also so butter and melted in my mouth. We also had the shrimp scampi which was so light and perfect. The drinks too, were perfect for the season! The best part really was the staff, they were so great and nice. Definitely coming here again during the summer to get the entire experience and vibe.
The Quick: Fantastic seafood, cocktails, and wine list (ask for pairing recommendations, they know their stuff). The lobster fra Diavolo is incredible! The staff is very accommodating. If you're a seafood lover, this is for youThe Details: If you don't eat seafood, this might be a little difficult for you. There are definitely vegetarian sides, but the focus is on seafood and it's done. Incredibly. The raw bar is incredibly fresh, and they are spicy red/ Sicilian sauce is incredible.. Make sure to get extra bread.The Damage: fresh seafood is not inexpensive, but we thought the meal was worth every penny.

First, loved our waitress Nicole. They do not take reservations but if there is just 2 of you they have 2 small bars you may want to saddle up to. We waited 20 minutes, not awful. This is where they lose a star. Our table, for 4 people was too small and 1 seat, a built in bench, very uncomfortable and should never be used for anyone over the age of 12. Food was very good. Had the best piece of tuna, rare, literally melted in my mouth. Overall, we would recommend.

Had dinner. No menu for the table. Had to go up to the blackboard menu and take a picture. We started with cocktails- my wife had wine and I tried the spiked Arnold Palmer. Palmer was blah so I switched to a Peroni Lager which was good. Wife had oysters which got a little dance(means they are really good). I tried the mussels and they were ok. Wife had the grilled tuna with fries and I had the grilled lobster with a side of linguine in white sauce. She said her tuna was very good but a bit cold in the middle. My grilled lobster was awesome. The linguine was bland and could not eat. Overall good. Maybe it was our choices that made it just an okay night.

It's good and a little farther away from the tourist traps in the wharf. Didn't love it but it's a solid place and one of the better options around town. Good seafood!
