We sat at the bar and had dinner. The octopus appetizer was a must get. They first brought out our entrees and must have forgotten about the appetizer, but they quickly brought that out too when we reminded them and we didn’t mind. The atmosphere was very nice and the cocktails (espresso martini and jalapeño margarita) were excellent. Would definitely recommend for a nicer date night or vacation dinner.

Fantastic experience overall. The food was excellent. The linguini with frutti di mare was fresh, albeit a little short on scallops/clams and heavy on the shrimp. The pizza was proper brick oven with the perfect crust. Deserts (we had the crème brûlée, Apple pie and affogato) were all very good. Great attention to detail and service. Would go back.
