We had a delicious meal in this pleasant restaurant. We had drinks a couple days before and met J 9. She is a great friendly bartender and made me a mocktail with crushed blueberries and soda and an infusion of cinnamon and rosemary. It was delicious. She recommended we come back for dinner.
For dinner we started with an Italian salad. Enough for 4 to share. Bread is delicious. Shared an appetizer eggplant rollatini. Delicious sauce.. a bit chewy eggplant.
Ordered flounder with vegetables. Soft moist flavorful. And a New York style pizza with sausage mushrooms and onions. It was very good. Three split it. Cannolis for dessert. Three were served with a fresh shell and delicious creamy filling. Service was friendly and food came out hot and fast. Must try!

I am a spaghetti monster! I have loved it my whole life! My favorite was at the Versace mansion up until I cane upon this place! By far the best pasta and service I had ever had in my whole life! The salad was amazing as well as the terrimissu dessert! My server was KC, and just top notch! They are working on getting a terrimissu martini, can’t wait!

A hidden gem! We had pizza, mozzarella sticks, and chicken parmesan. Everything was delicious. I was pleasantly surprised to receive a delicious salad with my meal, which I wasn’t expecting. The restaurant sits on a canal which made for a beautiful evening as the sun set. I will definitely be back!

My husband, and I have had the privilege of dining at restaurants all over the world. When we came back home from Delaware, our flight was delayed and we both craved pizza. Eventhough our pizza took longer then expected our server, Jason, was by far the best personality we’ve yet to experience. Between his full commitment to make sure we had everything we desired, and his professionalism we enjoyed his service throughout the evening. He also was so kind and helpful with his other customer. We will absolutely be back for the.pizza and Jason!

What an AMAZING experience. I ordered the bruschetta appetizer, chicken parm dinner, and pesto pasta on the side. Incredible, authentic Italian dishes. So good I had to take a picture mid-meal! I asked the bartender, J-9, for low calorie drinks and she delivered!! Amazing. Not to mention the beautiful view of the water and the great staff and owners.

Meh. Wanted to love it but only okay food. Sauces not great. A bit acidic and undercooked. None of our dishes were flavorful. Needed herbs, salt, oil, and cooking time. Even the linguine with clams didn’t taste of clams in the pasta or sauce. Key lime pie was delicious though. Very good bread.

Wow… what a meal! From the moment we sat down, everything was amazing. They brought out warm, crusty bread with a zesty marinara and this whipped butter that honestly, I don’t even know how to describe — it was that good.
The wine was fantastic, and the owner actually gave us a little impromptu wine lesson that was super interesting and fun.
We shared the Grandma’s pizza, and it was perfection — the sauce was incredible, and the crust was crispy on the outside but still had that perfect chew. Then came the pasta… fresh seafood (clams, mussels, shrimp), spinach, zucchini, penne, all in a delicious vodka sauce. Every bite was packed with flavor.
It was one of those meals that just felt special from start to finish. I honestly can’t wait to go back!!!

The food was absolutely outstanding. Every dish tasted fresh, authentic, and clearly made with care. The pasta was perfectly cooked—tender with just the right bite—and the sauce was rich, flavorful, and beautifully balanced. You could really taste the quality of the ingredients, from the olive oil to the herbs and cheese.

Been here many times as I am a very local mostly get a pizza to go which is a good pizza, but small for the $25 price (it’s a 14″ medium pizza not a 16″ large) and it’s only lack of competition. For New Years Eve, ordered take out: Lasagna, and Chicken Riggies (states on menu famous update NY dish so they know it, but the cook obviously doesn’t). First, Lasagna used a vodka style sauce as the chicken riggies, wrong sauce for both but really wrong for Lasagna unless ordered that way and it wasn’t, odd portion of noodles to sauce, little noodles lots of cream sauce about a 4 oz serving, which customarily is not a small dish. By the food served, doesn’t seem like they know the dishes. Didn’t get the sausage ordered and paid for. The chicken riggies was also wrong sauce, very little cherry peppers, no green pepper, and very little chicken, and mostly the vodka sauce and a pile of rigatonis, did not taste like any chicken riggies I’ve had. Salad was good. I bend over backwards to support local, and not a food nit picker or harsh reviewer. Want to like the place, nice people, but this is poor food experience that warrants a fair review. Maybe that’s not everyone else’s experience but was ours last night and it wasn’t good. $35 per person take out with decent tip for take out.
