Very limited parking and must make a reservation to set indoor, the weather was nice so outside wasn’t terrible. The waiter brought bread but didn’t bother to serve oil and vinegar that was on the table. The water glass had lipstick on it so I ordered tea…tea glass had even more lipstick on it.Prices were high and the charge for nearly everything, meals didn’t come with a salad, whatever. The “prawn” I ordered were just medium shrimp but it was tasty enough. Will not be coming back to this restaurant.

Nice, quiet upscale place for some excellent Italian food. The lasagna was the best I have ever tasted in my life. Snapper was the special that night and it also was just scrumptious. Reservations are suggested. Attire is fairly casual as it caters to both tourists and locals alike.

Food was great, server, not so much. I felt she either judged our age, or ethnicity. Either way felt like we at the bottom of her list. After bringing our check wrong 2 times, she snatched the credit card from my husbands hands… won’t be going back again. Unless it’s takeout. Portions are decent but the food was delicious. Liz… you should work on not judging at first glance…

Our reservation was misplaced at 6:45. They sat us 2 hours after our initial reservation made the day before. They didn’t have the dishes we wanted anymore. The wine was hot and not the wine we ordered. The added chicken was $10 and it was hardly the size of my palm. Food was good, but not worth $30 a plate. The scenery was nice however we were eating at 9:20 pm and could not see much of it outside. They cowardly sent the rookie waitress who was very sweet and tried her best to be helpful. They promised a discount because of their error but didn’t give it without us reminding them of it. $400 bill, $5 discount Very disappointed.

My wife and I enjoyed dinner here this evening. This is a little gem of a find for Italian food locally. My wife had linguine and clams and I had the veal parmigiana. Both meals were delicious and the dinner bread was warm, soft and yummy as well. One suggestion I would have is to make the pasta portion a little larger with the veal dish. We didn’t partake of the wine, but they had a pretty extensive list of options available. Our waiter and the service we received throughout our meal was outstanding and dinner arrived quickly after ordering. They are charging 2.5% if you use a credit card which is their option, but I wish we had known in advance as we live off plastic and didn’t have the cash option available to us. It was nice to see a lot of younger folks working hard to deliver a wonderful meal experience. We would definitely return here for another meal if in the area

Spaghetti was excellent. Didn’t have reservations so we sat outside. Enjoyed it. Restaurant is not real big so a reservation is needed. Service was excellent. A little pricey but expected in a resort town. Recommend it.

We had a reservation for 6:45, we were told our reservation was lost and to come back at 8:15 (didn’t get seated until 9). After getting seated we were told we would receive a ‘deep’ discount for the inconvenience (1.5% = $6.00) off of a $400 bill. We ordered lasagna as it is known to be their special. However, they were out of that dish but had it at 6:45 when our original reservation was ‘placed’ they said “it was good and we sold a lot”. The portions were very small considering the price and the additional toppings, shrimp and chicken were an added $10 for a couple tiny pieces. The wine was warm. When it was time for the ticket there was no discount until we reminded them.

Being in a customer service background I could not believe the rudeness we received from either the owner or manager. I think she could have been polite about our requests. When we arrived, there was several tables open but we did notice a hiring sign out front so the long wait we tried to look past. The food was ok but not what I expected for the price. The size of a entree was laughable, the flavor was salty and seemed store bought not hand made. The Alfredo sauce was separating and seemed to be rewarmed as the butter was sitting towards the sides of the bowl. The spaghetti plate was over seasoned and the sauce amateur. Our waiter was very nice but took a long time to take orders and seemed overwhelmed. We did get a amazing visit from the local deer across the street but that was the only thrill received by our experience at this restaurant. I would definitely not be recommending this place nor will we be back.

We called the day before for reservations the next day at 6:45, when we arrived they said they had lost our reservation but they could accommodate us at 8:15 and would apply a deep discount for the inconvenience. So we left but were told that they would call us if they could get us in sooner. However we got to the restaurant at 8:10, but didn’t get seated until 8:45. The food was pretty good but not worth the $20 + dollar price point, and I never received the IceT that I ordered. The check was over $154 dollars for a family of 4, and after the discount $148. So the deep discount to help with the inconvenience was $6. I had heard good things about this restaurant, but I was very very disappointed. I will definitely not go back. I would like to thank the waitress and the hostess who actually seemed apologetic.
