    Fresh home made pasta with lump crab meat was excellent. No one in our party of four had any complaints about their meal. Server was efficient and friendly. Restaurant was quiet on a Sunday afternoon.

    This was our second visit to the restaurant, and we plan on going back. The food was delicious. I had the mussels and I don’t think I ever enjoyed mussels like I did here. My wife had the sea bass special and enjoyed it very much and brought the leftovers home. Besides the food, I would like to also comment on the service. If I had to rate it from 1 - 10 (10 being the best) I would need to give it an 11. From the moment we arrived, the staff couldn’t have been nicer and truly happy to make our evening exceptional. I asked our server for some recommendations and she was spot on.

    Our dinner was delicious. Antonio and staff are so professional and pleasant. We had such a wonderful time. My husband and I ended up ordering out from Cafe Piazza the next night because we wanted pasta which we didn’t have when we were there! Thank you Antonio!
