Insider tip, there is restaurant and wine bar. If you want good wine you need to ask for the wine bar menu. Frankly whats on menu of restaurant is of average quality. However food was stupendous excwpt for the Cesar salad. BTW it was invented in Mexico so don't presume all Italians do a good C salad.
Our experience was really good, we went on Friday night and they had live music. The pastas are incredible, my personal favorite was the carbonara spaghetti. I am not giving 5 starts because the desserts were really bad.
Amazing meal. Superb atmosphere. Scott at the bar was the consummate server/ host. A MUST for anyone who loves, likes, or just appreciates Italian food made from the freshest ingredients. Reservations are necessary so plan accordingly.
I have had this restaurant saved on my list for awhile since I see all the great reviews and finally made it there. I was more disappointed in the service than anything. Anyhow, my wife and I had dinner on a Fri evening and it wasn't super busy yet. We arrived prior to our reservation and got seated promptly but waited about 25 min before anyone came over. Mind you there was a waitress helping folks on both sides of us so she could clearly see we were just hanging out. No big deal even though we got 90 minutes for dinner. Wife's dinner was pretty good, she had the sea bass. I had the lobster bisque and lobster pasta which was very salty and could not finish it. Appetizer of Bruschetta was delicious. Anytime I walk out paying $200 for myself and my wife, I expect nothing less than a phenomenal experience overall. Once we got attended to, service was good to go. Hesitant, but we may give it another shot and actually go with pasta this time instead of seafood. Va bene!
Was on our food tour and this was an excellent place !
The food was outstanding and the entertainment spot on. What a lovely setting for a wine bar. Tony and Will and staff are what restaurants should be proud of, the way they treat people is perfect
We were out looking for dinner on Thames Street and found this Italian Restaurant. We chose to sit outside with other diners. The restaurant was quite busy and was also providing takeaway meals. Friendly, smartly dressed staff. We had arancini risotto balls and then gnocchi al pomodoro and spaghetti and meatball - note meatball not meatballs. The gnocchi was good and the spaghetti dish arrived with a generous serving of pasta and a huge meatball on top ( about the size of a large orange) ! Clean plates all round with no room for dessert. A nice setting and good food makes this restaurant well worth a visit.
Very flavorful food, especially the chef’s specials were to die for! The place has its own parking, which helps during weekends. The desserts aren’t on the menu, but they do have house-made tiramisu and other delightful options!
Enjoyed a wonderful evening celebrating a graduation at this establishment. Food, service and atmosphere were perfect. The chief’s special were unbelievable; handmade pasta, locally sourced herbs and vegetables and a fantastic sauce. I do wish that they carried some Napa Cellars wines in their selection.
We had a delicious dinner here last night. We started off with the sauteed calamari , which was so tender and sauce was full of flavor. I had the pasta dish with the shrimp and my husband had the Osso Bucco. We both totally enjoyed our meals along with a glass of wine.
