As always, nothing but the best experience here. It was a late dinner on a Sunday night, off-season, so it was pretty quiet

The positives … Andrew our server was attentive, but not overbearing. The entire meal from the caprese salad & baby artichoke salad were tasty! The malfidini pasta with bolognese sauce & scallop special were delicious! Now the negative … the noise level was horrendous especially the table of four sitting 2 feet away. If you’re a couple who wants to enjoy each other’s company & evening this is not the place to go to. Wait till the weather gets warmer to sit outside where it’s quieter.

Our server, Andrew, as usual was amazing - knowledgeable and welcoming! Food was superb - mussels the best around, beet carpaccio, a new special, was incredible. My fresh fettucine with shrimp and pesto one of my new favorites - Also, we never had a better chicken dish! Thanks to all the welcoming staff and great wine selections! Been here many times and each time gets more and more amazing!

As usual, dining here is a treat. From appetizer( shared mussels - the best - ask for a spoon for great sauce), veal parm and pasta bolognese, and warm chocolate dessert ( shared). Oh And side dish of Brussels sprouts with pomegranate seeds- amazing! Great service- quiet early on a rainy Thursday night but very busy as we left. Can’t wait to return!!
