Received a warm greeting upon arrival followed by some delicious house made rolls with dipping sauce. The owner is incredibly kind and accommodating. The food (salmon and pasta) was fresh and delicious. The ambience is very no frills but the food and service are wonderful. Will definitely be back to try more dishes.

Anyone that can prepare a fabulous octopus really knows their way around a kitchen. We just did appetizers and drink and each one, the grilled octopus, duck spring rolls and saganaki were spaced nicely between courses and delicious. Next time we will tackle the entrees!

We really enjoyed our starters, the grilled octopus and the fried calamari were tender and great. I had the branzino fish filet, cooked nicely. The pasta dish with shrimp/seafood could have been more savory. First visit, we enjoyed our meal

3 couples had a lovely evening. Octopus app and calamari apps were great, very tender. Bronzino was fabulous and my go to! Lamb kabobs were just ok, not as tender and juicy as expected. Mushroom raviolis and chicken kabobs were good. Service, as always was great and the local is welcoming and comfortable.

We thought the restaurant was more geared to seafood and there was a picture of oysters on the website which you did not offer My meatballs had a sweetness to them and did not taste like Italian meatballs I also did not like the sauce the bread came with My partner enjoyed his lamb chops and fresh vegetables The service was very good
