    The clam chowder was the best I have tasted. The veal milanese was terrific - just the way it would taste in Rome

    Dined on Nov 15, 2024
    I took my daughters out to dinner and wanted to try a new restaurant as we live in Newport. Since we all love seafood, I thought this would be a good spot and it was. From the time we walked in the door, we had a good experience. We had a friendly and attentive server who was also the bartender and we liked the eclectic menu. For appetizers we sampled the Burrata and Spanish Octopus. Both were delicious. While all our entrees were good, the grilled lobster special I ordered was mouthwatering and luscious. Best I have ever had. The white Bordeaux wine I had was as good as it was reasonably priced. We finished off the meals with dessert. My chocolate custard and pistachio gelato was silky. I will definitely be back.

    Everything was outstanding. I do not usually leave reviews but I think that this was worth while to let folks know. We were early for our reservation but they made an effort to accommodate us early. We were very lucky that they could do so. There is no area to actually wait for a table. They advise folks that they have limited space and that is true. The service and food was exceptional. Well worth dining here.
