    As always, the food was outstanding. We were a group of 6 and each person had a different Entree. No one was disappointed! Our server, perhaps also the Hostess on a night that was not so busy, was amazing. She was tending Bar, serving tables and managed to do it all cheerfully and efficiently . One of our favorite restaurants.

    We dined here last evening. I found the restaurant on open table. We dined on the outside patio which was quiet and warmed by portable heaters. The atmosphere was delightful. We all choose different entrees . The food was very tasty and well prepared. You get a choice of potatoe and vegetables or pasta with your entree. Service was good on arrival and order taking. The actual dinner entrees were a little slow coming but we were not bothered because they provided homemade bread with oil and the atmosphere was so pleasant. We will return here if back in Clearwater.

    Took one star off the food for the meatballs. No way/no how were the ones WE were served were homemade. My guess is they have frozen commercial ones on hand in case they run out (we had an 8pm reze). Consider making extra fresh ones and freezing them instead. Every other entree plus bread, dipping oil and escargot were “outstanding” —and our server was, too. Definitely recommend. P.s. if the restaurant responds to thus and say the meatballs are homemade then I recommend not ordering them—unless of course you love frozen/processed meatballs.

    This is a real gem. Sat outside on a cool night ,heaters on made it a very nice experience. Very full menu, very nice descriptions of all the plates available. Great recommendation by server. The veal Parmesan were awesome, super thin and great flavor that melted in your mouth. The veal piccata was outstanding as wel and the fruiti de mer was probably the beast i have ever had, everything cooked to perfection and tender with mouthful of flavor and the linguini was cooked t o perfection. No room for dessert. Will be back for sure.

    We were in town for two weeks and we went here twice because it was so good. The apps, wine, and main courses were all wonderful. And don’t skip the lemon cake for dessert. The service the first night was incredibly slow when we had a reservation at 6:45 pm on a Tuesday. We waited an hour after our appetizer to get our food. The second night we did a 5:30 pm reservation on Thursday and received our food within 15 mins of ordering. The only issue the second night was the host didn’t start until 6:30 pm so when we were seated we weren’t given any details about tonight’s menu as we were the first night and we had to ask our server what the specials were because she didn’t tell us the two times she came to our table. I still gave them a 5-Star overall rating, which might be high, but because the food was so good and the second night there was no waiting. Reservations are a must but this place was very good.
