    Food was okay, half came out cold and half came out hot. The runners kept mixing up the food. Outdoor patio seemed cool, inside is busy and loud. Great place for adults, not family

    I would have loved to give 5 stars, the food was unbelievable and the restaurant itself is outstanding but ruined by a dismissive and extremely rude server.

    The service was great from the minute we got in the door. Table service was timed to perfection. Seemed like a seamless team. Lobster ravioli new to the menu is fantastic.

    A lovely spot in Milton near the water: love the oysters smallish but super delish. I like to share plates like.crispi polenta and baked mushrooms and appreciate the gluten free pasta so much!

    Great service and the GM Emanuelle was super hospitable. My sister and I shared a bunch of good including the focaccia & mussels to start. We enjoyed the oil mixture that came with the bread for dipping and the sauce in the mussels dish was yummy. Loved the sauce in the bolognese. We enjoyed a bunch of desserts because we couldn’t decide on one. Espresso gelato, trio of chocolate chip cannolis & tiramisu. All delicious but the star of the show was the tiramisu. It is the best I’ve ever had. A giant portion that we couldn’t stop eating. The energy and vibe of this cute place is awesome. We’ll be back for sure.
