I took my girlfriend for our anniversary and it was pretty romantic and a really nice atmosphere. Food was really good. The ricotta cavatelli with short rib was my favorite. Plenty of food and dessert was great. Plenty of parking and service was on point. Very happy with my experience

Izzy was our waiter and we had an exceptional experience. Our table was ready at our desired time and service was prompt and professional. Appetizers were delicious as was our entrees. Dessert was outstanding also- tartufo. Christmas decorations were still up, just adding to the ambiance. A little noisy, but why wouldn't it be for a Saturday in January at one of the best restaurants at the shore.

This is a great place to eat if you’re going to a show at the Stone Pony. Located across the street, it has good Mexican food and drinks with an ocean view. I love their empanadas and quesadillas.
