   We went here for the second time and had an enjoyable evening. The place holds only about 24 people, so make a reservation. The service was attentive, the food was excellent, and the list list pretty extensive. I enjoyed the Mediterranean fish special, while my wife had veal. The appetizers were excellent and were sharing size. Overall, it was enjoyable. We will return.

   Literally the worst experience I have had in Vero. I’ve lived here several years all year around and finally tried to return here after their renovations. What a mistake. I made a reservation for 7 and they sat us at a four top round table that seven chairs didn’t even fit around. Much less with all of us eating. Their information says kid friendly- however, they informed us they have nothing/no juice and refused to give the kids plain pasta (I planned to put parmesan and butter). They also do not have a kids menu. A water was spilled and they literally threw (not even placed it in the spill) a dry rag on the table and walked away. Our calamari was brought out cold and without any condiment. When we asked for salt and pepper on the table, the girl rolled her eyes and walked away- never coming back. Our food came and it was horrible. Bland and the pasta was way overcooked. Which is ridiculous for 20-30 dollar entrees. Additionally, we sat there for over an hour before we even got out food. And, for some of us, 30 minutes before drinks that we ordered first thing. The list goes on and on. I do not and will not support this restaurant. I asked for the manager, there was none there on a Saturday night. Kenny, the waiter told us we could email them. Kenny was about as rude as they come also.

   The food was fresh, creative and wonderfully prepared. The service was cordial and attentive but not intrusive. Nice location and atmosphere. Chef Massimo and his team are winners in every way!

   Poor help and needed more people to wait on tables. Asked for bread 3 times and was told it would take 20-30 min to make… so that means don’t wait for it. Small place and can hear everyone’s conversations. Food was mediocre. Vincent’s or Pomodoro is better for Italian.

   Our server Tiffany was very good we had her before and never disappoints. If you go get the giant meatballs just superb!.My wife got a huge Caprese salad very good and so much she took some home.She enjoyed the Raviolli Bolognese also took some home. I’ve never tried Spaghetti alla puttanesca it was a large plate but just not flavors I like. But you never know if you like something until you try it.The prices are so reasonable compared to most places beautiful location good food and great service.
