Food was delicious! What was disappointing was an Italian restaurant that does not offer cappuccino, and that had NO decaf coffee at all. It was a chilly night my friends were cold and had a long drive home ahead of them. They were craving cappuccino and upon learning there was none, then a cup of decaf. ..but there was none. Just sayin’

Really nice staff and terrific food. Comfortable environment with a great outdoor seating area.

I love everything about this restaurant. Food is always fresh and tasty. Servers super friendly and flow key. We usually sit outside, but this time we sat inside at a funky table with 2 seats that look like couch thrones at each end of the table. Super fun and comfortable.

Very accommodating to our guest with special diet. Portions are very large but sacrifice some quality for quantity. Overall good experience but the attention to detail could be improved. Pesto sauce with bread excellent! Cocktails inventive and tasty. A welcome addition to the neighborhood.

Delicious meals, large portions, excellent appetizers. Shared mussels, fried calamari and baked Gouda to start. Extremely flavorful. All pasta is homemade and preparation is excellent.

Fabulous flavors!! The shrimp scampi was one of the best I have ever had - the freshest ingredients, PERFECTLY cooked shrimp. The mussels too were outstanding!

Just ok. Raviolis were chewy and filling not that great. Seated near area where they dump the dirty dishes. Descent vibe, just not great.

There is only one minor detail I believe should be considered. This was our second visit and both times we ordered the fried calamari. The first time we ordered it, it was extremely salty. The second time we ordered it, we were hoping it wouldn’t be as salty; however, it was as salty as the first time we ordered it. We will not be ordering it again, sorry to say. Thank you.

Ended up waiting 20 minutes and sitting outside. One of the first beautiful Friday evenings in New England! Food was absolutely delicious. We started with the chicken wings, mussels and Gouda appetizers. Moved on to chicken piccata, the Bolognese and a vegetarian ravioli dish. All superior. Service wasA little slow as they were quite crowded outside. But very attentive! Will definitely be returning!

Interesting decor and good service. Portions are large. Food is good but not outstanding. Overall, a solid choice.
