Came here for a quick early dinner with husband and baby. Really enjoyed the food (clams oregano, burrata, grilled octopus) - didn't think it was amazing but also didn't get any pasta dishes, which, in retrospect, definitely should have, being that it is an Italian restaurant . Cocktails were great and the service was excellent. A really pretty, clean place with clean, spacious bathrooms. A beautiful outside seating area, too. And 2 Private dining rooms for events available upstairs.

I ordered by a food delivery service. I have to say that the portions are excellent. Food is fantastic. Some items are definitely original. The entire order for my friends and I were outstanding. My only complaint was my order of lobster ravioli. Now In most restaurants pertaining to my order, is that you don't get a lot of raviolis just like other restaurants. The shrimp were collasal and cooked to perfection. My friends orders were huge. The lobster ravioli however was disappointing. I couldn't taste or make out what type of sauce it was. However due to portions and relative originality of my friends dishes, I have to say I would definitely order again.

We got a caeser salad, penne vodka, nd chicken parm! Everything was great! The salad was pretty basic but good. The penne vodka was delicious and perfectly cooked and so was the pasta with the chicken. The chicken parm was also very tasty. The service was also really nice and attentive on water

Took my family here for my wife’s birthday and it was worth every penny. Food was delicious and the service was great and the resturant was very busy. I’ll be coming back here more often.

Beautiful restaurant and great food. Parking is available in the back, but on a limited basis. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and set up, and has multiple floors for multiple events. Can accommodate a private party or a dinner for 2. Beautiful patio in the back to get some fresh air. I would recommend this place if you are in the area. Would love it if they could get more dishes that didn't involve pork and shellfish to make it a true must-go for people with certain dietary restrictions.

We recently had a small event for five people at this Italian restaurant and booked ahead. The service was smooth and the ambiance pleasant, making it a nice setting for our gathering. We started with oysters, but unfortunately they were disappointing—lacking flavor and freshness, especially considering the high price. However, the rest of the seafood more than made up for it. The branzino was excellent—fresh, well-prepared, and full of flavor. We also really enjoyed the octopus and clams, both of which were cooked beautifully and made for a great choice. Overall, while not everything hit the mark, the quality of most of the food and the overall experience were quite good. Would consider coming back, just skipping the oysters next time.
