    Great food & service . Unfortunately, the tables are SO CLOSE together that you’re sharing conversations with the next table! When you need to get up-so that the person behind you or alongside can leave, well that tells you something! And, the servers were really challenged as well trying to manage plates of food.

    Fantastic Italian on the North Shore. Our first time here. We will be back. Our expectations were exceeded. Super fresh and tasty food at a good value, with attentive, friendly service in a warm, cozy ambiance.

    Food was excellent but didn’t like that they booted us out when we were done eating. I understand there were people waiting but maybe they need to scatter their reservations better.

    Good variety and good portions. Very loud to the point the waiter had trouble hearing us. We weren’t in the main dining room so that may have been the problem

    Another excellent meal. White fish and chicken with peppers. Service very good. It gets a little loud but good to see the energy.
