    I am Italian, and I have finally found a good clams linguini!! Alleluia! The food was exquisite, excellent. I ordered clams linguini and my friend had seafood fra diavolo (spicy sauce). The quantity of the food was abundant and plenty of seafood. The desserts were authentic as the Italian ones. I had tiramisù my favorite (coffee and cream) and cream Brule. Fenomenal. We will come back!

    I wish I could give 10 stars! Our server Eric was phenomenal! He didn’t miss a beat and was so personable! He made us feel right at home! Thanks Eric! Every single menu item we ordered was DELICIOUS! LITERALLY! Our group ordered: Eggplant meatballs, deviled eggs, bruschetta, penne vodka, gnocchi, chicken alfredo, marscarpone cheesecake and affogato. Amazing, all of it! Unfortunately we are only in town for vacation, but we will be back!

    My family and I made a reservation to have dinner with a view together and I must say the food was impeccable! 🤌🏼 I never go in with high expectations as I’m used to homemade Italian dishes, but none of our dishes disappointed. We had a wonderful waiter, Noah- such a gentleman with great recommendations. 11/10 recommend and looking forward to eating here again.

    Such a wondermous early supper on this dreary Saturday eve… this is our family’s favorite Italian restaurant! We had the always delicious Spaghetti Bolognese…. a delish halibut over spinach dish (one of the several nightly specials)… chicken parm and Seafood Fra Diavolo (full of shrimp, mussels, clams And calamari) spiced just right). Didn’t get snaps of the SO GOOD Lasagna Egg Roll apps or light and perfectly crispy calamari… bread and dippin oil or maybe the best cheesecake ever! Mascarpone cheese vanilla (almost like a crème brûlée cheesecake) or the delightful Chianti! If ever around, do go. But reservations **highly recommended!!

    Had a lovely time with my family from start to finish. Had a reservation for a party of 7 and we were seated promptly. Our server Tiffany was very nice and attentive. Everything was delicious, we ordered a bunch of appetizers to start, entrees and dessert and everything was right on point! Highly recommend.

    We had a party of six and made a reservation for 6:30. We arrived early and not all of our party had arrived so we sat on the lovely front porch and watched the world go by. When the rest of our party arrived we went in and we’re seated immediately at a table for eight which allowed us to spread out a little and be very comfortable. We ordered a bottle of the white Moscato, and a mock tale along with an appetizer of brechetta and caprice salad. Both came out quickly and were delicious. The brechetta had more cheese than tomato topping, but was still very good. Caprice salad was a little sparse on the basil, but also delicious with the heirloom Cherry tomato combination in some flavorful olive oil. For dinner I got the red snapper special. The fish had some sort of coating that yielded nice crisp sections with delicate tender fish just beneath. The red pepper risotto was creamy and smooth and the other side was difficult to describe. It was some sort of vegetable sautéed till tender and then in a cream sauce. It was good, but not just certain what it was- and I didn’t ask. My daughter (the birthday girl) had the pork tenderloin special and she said it was very tender and delicious. The sides paired nicely and the flavor combinations were very pleasing. The Purple Punch mock tail was also very good. My other dining partners had a variety of pasta dishes and everyone commented how delicious they were. The Chicken Parmesan was enormous- 2 well fried chicken breasts- more than enough to split or take home. The atmosphere was rather loud when we got there- because there were quite a lot of people dining, but by the time we left the crowed had thinned out a little and it was very pleasant. The service was top notch! Our server was very attentive even though they were busy and we wanted for nothing. One of my dining partners told the server that it was my daughter’s birthday and they brought her a tiramisu and the entire restaurant sang to her. Very fun! We will definitely be back! Very enjoyable!!!!

    Best restaurant I have ever eaten at... everything was fantastic. Not cheap, but worth every bite! Their chef is awesome! Husband had grilled snapper with corn risotto and I had the 3 cheese Italian sausage and pasta with tasty house salads and homemade dressings, but orange vinaigrette was bland...and of course...wine! We had the mozzarella and tomato appetizer, which with a salad was almost too much but delicious. No room for dessert unfortunately...🫤 the cheesecake looked really good, too!

    I’m just gonna say this. The Alfredo is so much better than…it just won’t try to take half your money when you’re done with it. And the view while eating is nice as well. Even without a reservation, which is highly suggested, the staff was quick to accommodate us. Thank you for the memorable dinner out with my daughter.

    Delicious!! Entrees, appetizers, and deserts were tasty and reasonably priced. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Atmosphere is beautiful, we recently rediscovered it and have been several times this month. Recommended to local friends and visitors to the area.

    Delicious. I ordered mussels and chicken marsala and it was delicious. The bread was soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. Dunking the bread into the butter garlic/lemon left over mussel juice was amazing. The waiter was excellent and nice. Parking offered wasn't great but over all, I really enjoyed the food.
