Food was hit a miss. Sauce of the clam appetizer seemed watery and diluted. Didn’t get much taste out of it. Fried sand dabs and grilled salmon were good, though. My friend enjoyed her spicy seafood pasta with just the right amount of heat which doesn’t overpower the pasta sauce
Service was polite and attentive, but was a bit on the slow side. They were very busy, but looked to be understaffed
This spot has it all — a great location, authentic Italian dishes, and even a waiter who speaks Italian (which makes the pasta taste extra legit!). The wharf views are absolutely stunning, with a possible visit from an otter.. If you’re celebrating a birthday, get ready for a fun surprise — they’ll serenade you with “Happy Birthday” in Italian! And whatever you do… save room for the cannoli — that creamy filling is worth every bite.
Will definitely return for other meals.
The service was great, friendly, and attentive. The food was really good too. Had the spaghetti alle vongole and it was a good amount of nice thick egg spaghetti with a garlic light cream sauce that had just enough flavor to not be overpowered. Would definitely come by again if I’m ever in the area.
The server first of all was amazing. No chit chat really, just straight to business, very responsive, paid attention, punctual, and quite handsome with an Italian accent. He was personable and had friendliness in his eyes.
We had the polenta to start, 2 specials for entrees, and affogato for dessert.
The polenta was perfect – a little grainy, paired with a creamy sauce, cheese, and mushrooms. Well balanced, earthy, delicious.
The 2 specials we had were the Swordfish and Lobster with gigantic ravioli. I dont order swordfish often, maybe once every other year, and truly this was the best swordfish ive had. It was served over zucchini with tomato and capers and risotto with spinach.
The lobster was cooked absolutely perfect, seasoned simply, was slightly sweet and very juicy. The tail was served over the gigantic ravioli, I forget what the filling was, but they were amazing. Walnut pieces were sprinkled over the ravioli which was a great touch of crunch to an otherwise smooth meal.
The espresso over the house made Gelato was the absolutely perfect cap to the experience.
Finally, the interior of the restaurant is warm, homey, inviting, cozy. The chairs were comfortable, every staff was friendly and smiled, and the lights they set out on the tables for the evening when the sun sets create ample cozy light at the table.
If youre looking for a meal that won’t disappoint, and an atmosphere that feels like family, this is the place.
