Authentic Italian food. Lamb ragú made with real lamb stew meat, not ground lamb. Bread was homemade. Calamari not heavy. Would come back in a heartbeat.

I was really looking forward to this holiday celebration with my family and was incredibly disappointed to spend almost $300 on what was supposed to be a lovely meal and to be underwhelmed with the ambiance and service. This is a lovely restaurant, yet we were seated in a tent on a dirty, loud patio with no Christmas decorations, and nothing in the tent to add warmth or reduce the loud scraping of metal chairs on the dirty pavers, or to absorb the sound of conversations and children crying. I had asked to be seated inside, and was told no tables were available other than the bar. When I went inside to use the restroom, half of the tables were empty. Really disappointed as it was not the holiday celebration we were hoping for. The service outside was slow and almost like we were an afterthought. The quaint and warm restaurant is what we wanted and why we chose to dine here. Not to be placed in a cold, loud tent.

Enjoyed the dining experience very much. Host went out of his way to find the best table for us in the dining room. Food was absolutely delicious. Chicken Marsala and the Pasta de Mare were outstanding. Also delicious were the Beef Carpaccio and the Chicken Parmigiana. The Cherry Gelato was amazing. Better than any Gelato I have ever tasted!
