Stopped in for a Good Friday dinner and had the pasta special which was tagliatelle with shrimp and asparagus as well as their standard Salmon Pasta which was tagliatelle in a lemon cream sauce with some bronzed salmon. Both dishes were outstanding! Service is on point. It is a quaint restaurant with about a dozen tables so no one gets lost. The fresh made pasta takes it to the next level! buon appetito!!

Good service and food was good. Caesar salad was large. Comes with a lot of cheese which was good but if you don’t like a lot of cheese let them know. Dinner was very enjoyable

Food was pretty good - service was underwhelming. Food came out quickly; it went downhill from there. The only time the server came to the table was when I beckoned him. Asked about dessert and spent 10 or 15 minutes staring at dirty dishes over the menu while waiting for the server to return to take a dessert order. Finally gave up and asked for the check.

Run, don’t walk to this restaurant! It is awesome!! Everything is terrific! Great red and white wine selection! We celebrated an anniversary so we had the fabulous Burrata with great homemade pesto drizzle and surprisingly delicious tomatoes! (And it’s March!) Wedge salad and Caesar didn’t disappoint with lots of cheese and homemade dressings! Then came fabulous entrees! My husband is picky about cioppino and he loved it! It was filled with large shrimp, clams, fish, scallops and loads of delicious, delicious sauce/broth! (Be sure to ask for extra bread to sop up any extra!) I ordered the special fish of the day which was a huge piece of a tender, delicate rockfish cooked to perfection with a lemon wine sauce! Still wanting pasta, our server suggested that I could substitute pasta for the potatoes so I jumped at the chance. That was the best decision! Their homemade angel hair pasta is divine! Then came 2 wonderful desserts, tiramisu and the outstanding pistachio cake and then decaf espresso! Whew! What a food coma, but this was an outstanding meal! Run, don’t walk there! It’s worth it!
