So, so good! I am able to get to Portsmouth yearly and if I can get a reservation I consider myself lucky! The restaurant never disappoints and I always leave fully satisfied! The food is absolutely delicious! My family loves that the owner greets all his tables individually, definitely an added bonus! I will keep coming back!

This was a great dining experience, every member of the staff were so welcoming it just amplified the amazing food and wine we enjoyed. We enjoyed a few options from the small plates section and my favorite was the duck, Brie and spiced jam.
The meatballs were amazing some of the best ricotta I’ve ever tasted and the meatballs were so tender.
We also had the Salsiccia di Fiche e Prosciutto which the sausage had great flavors!
Maine course of Tagliatelle Carbonara di Lazio and Orecchiette with Sausage just kept the hits coming. If you are a garlic lover get the carbonara for sure.
Very much looking forward to our next visit.

All the waitstaff were super friendly, the food was really good (you got what you paid for) and it was nice that the proprietor came over to check I when we first arrived and checked in with us at the end of the meal; my 8-year son gave him a thumbs up - enough said!

Massimo and crew are always so kind and accommodating to myself and friends, making us feel (a bit too much) at home! The carbonara lures us in but the hospitality is the reason we stay. We always love our experiences here!

I would describe the food as upscale Italian. Portions were perfect and all meals were thoroughly explained. Any changes to the meal were accommodated. Meals were not rushed and we were able to have a relaxed dining experience. The wait staff was amazing and made the experience that much better. Cannot say enough about the staff and how delightful they were. We will definitely go back!
