Three of us ate here in July and were very disappointed with the eggplant entrees. While the portions are very large, there was way too much fried breading and little eggplant.

Been there in the past food was good not great. Decided to try again. This evening very disappointed. Ordered a bottle of white wine. Waitstaff poured initial glass and left bottle on table next to ice bucket. Bread is an extra cost. Ordered a loaf. Definitely not fresh with no taste. Ordered veal Milanese. So tough couldn’t even slice with the knife. Over breaded, over- fried and burnt. Second dinner ordered was the fluke fish special. Initially brought a wrong order. When fluke finally arrived it was the worse fish ever. Tasted burnt as well as the other vegetables with the dish. Supposed lobster sauce was overbearing smothering entire dish. I suppose to hide the awful taste. We did not eat the dinner. Paid the bill and left.Taking advantage of summer tourist trade really aggravates me. Ridiculously high prices w/ substandard food. A really foodie can see right thru the farce.We won’t be back!

I was here prior to the pandemic and it was excellent and well worth the price, but yesterday was not. The 19$ meatball was of amble size, but had more size than flavor, it was rather bland.Second appetizer was a chopped antipasto salad.I assumed it would be chopped salad an Italian meats and cheese. What are I was a chopped salad of decent proportion with very diced meats and cheese, I just was not expecting the meat and cheeses to be diced.Entrees were chicken Parm and eggplant Parm on bed of linguini. The eggplant was the most bitter eggplant I have ever tasted, as if it was just sliced and cooked, without prior proper preparation, and the linguine was practically absent on my plate, 4 to 5 fork fulls, where as the chicken Parm had an ample amount of pasta.I asked if we could have some bread and was offered to purchase garlic bread or an Italian loaf.I chose the Italian loaf.Is $5 loaf of bread was stale, so stale I had it sent back. The server asked if I would like another, but when I said no thank you, I have a feeling the next loaf is going to be just like this, he smiled as if he agreed.Overall the meal with subpar. They are part of the Big Fish group now, and I am unaware of they belonged to this group prior to the pandemic, but either way the overall food experience was subpar and something I would not go back to. It was very disappointing especially because I was so looking forward to going here after our last experience prior to the pandemic it was excellent. But there's much need for improvement at this time.

We had an awesome dinner at Sazio - their specials (something new every few days) and apps are to die for! We all tried something a bit different and were impressed! Fabulous service - Madelynn was great, as were all the food runners, etc. We always enjoy dining here and this year was no different!

Waitress was wonderful and location looks great. Food took some time to come out and was, honestly, just ok. I felt the price for what we ordered was a bit extravagant as well.

Horrible experience. Not accommodating to food allergies at all. We questioned couscous as gluten free because it was on the gluten free menu - the waitress said she would ask. When served the entree, no couscous and no sub for it. When we questioned it, we were sent the manager or was extremely rude and yelled at us “do you want couscous to go”. Seriously?! Highly recommend avoided this place. Wait staff is ok, but when dealing with a manager, very embarrassing for this establishment.

Outstanding dinner with family and friends. We came here with a group of 8 on a holiday weekend and we all had a great meal. Service was top notch as was the food.

We dined on a Thursday evening on the outdoor covered porch. Check-in was great, we arrived 20 minutes early and we were given the option to be seated right away or have a drink in the bar. We are locals and love that they take reservations. This isn't something most restaurants in the area do. Our server, Ashley was exceptional, she was attentive but not overly intrusive. The time between courses was perfect, never felt rushed. The fried calamari was some of the best I've ever had. Our entrees consisted of chicken parmesan and veal piccata both huge portions and highly recommended. We will definitely be back!

A decent experience, the caprese salad (tomato & mozzarella) was delicious, and the kobe meatball was decent. The linguine and clams were very good, and the truffle creamed corn was terrific, but the veal piccata cutlet wasn't good, both the meal quality and the sauce were poor. Overall a decent experience but they're not the only place in town. The Zebra was a much better experience (the restaurant that was in the building prior).

Ok so first time back for the season we live walking distance and brought a walke (red sole cup) wanted to have dinner so I really love the food here, but the wait staff comes up and says “ I’ll take that for you “ I’m thinking they will bring it to the table Oh no she throw it away That’s alcohol abuse ? Never said anything in advance plus a total attitude from the server and the manager Anyway we walked out don’t need the negative vibes or the holier then thou attitude Sorry there are too many other places ?
