Service was terrible. Members of our party were left waiting for drinks as well as entrees after others were served. Food was fine, nothing particularly special and not enough to make up for the lousy service.

Was excited to have dinner here because of our long history with Lamberti family restaurants for many years. Although the bread basket was not the same as I remembered (just Italian bread this time), the food was delicious and service was on point. Beautifully decorated to look like the Almalfi coast with separated rooms that made it nice for conversation. The octopus app, chicken Parm and branzino were super flavorful and beautifully presented. Street parking was a challenge, esp on a Saturday night, but the Ritz lot on 2nd was convenient.

This a neighborhood place for us. We like that we can get oysters plus many Mediterranean small plates. Not fancy but consistent and friendly.
