   First timers! Delicious! Had the octopus appetizer—amazing! Both of our meals, the lobster risotto and crab meat over capellini, were phenomenal. Dessert - tiramisu sealed the deal. What a gem! Prices are on par.

   This was our first time dining in this restaurant. We were first seated next to a fireplace with a heater running and it became way too hot, but the server was happy to change our table. I had the Bronzino special where they filleted the fish right at the table. It was so juicy and perfectly cooked. My wife had the Tile fish, and it was also very good, but a bit salty. The manager even came to our table to check if everything was going well. The entire staff was very professional, and the evening was a pleasure. They had many pasta dishes to choose from that I would like to go back a try, and they have a large bar that looks like a great place to hang out for happy ours. You should try this restaurant.

   Service was good. Meal was OK. Octopus appetizer was excellent. The linguine pest tour was lacking. Any spice or punch and a bit chewy wife had scallops and shrimp with asparagus she loved it.

   Food was inedible and the service was awful. Our plates were barely touched and no one asked us why. I have eaten there before and it was great, I was shocked at how awful both of our meals were. I would never go back.

    Disappointed that we couldn't order Rose by the glass, only a bottle. Then they said they didn't have a bottle of Rose. Our The meal was good.
