The menu features the freshest and finest local and imported products, with signature handcrafted dishes. Plates are based around traditional recipes found in the coastal towns of Naples, Taormina, Bari, Positano and Gaeta, and each is presented in a contemporary fashion.

Started out @ the bar— had an enjoyable conversation with Nicholas who is not only an expert bartender he is also a genuine gentleman! We sat outside to enjoy our belated anniversary celebration. Marisa (I hope I captured her correct name) was an outstanding server who was not only kind but extremely knowledgeable regarding the menu— and as a vegetarian I was extremely impressed. Both of our dinners were prepared and presented in an extremely pleasing manner. We both thoroughly enjoyed our dinner! I must commend the restaurant for having an extremely cordial and competent staff— everyone we came in contact was very friendly and kind. Thank you for making our celebration memorable and special. We look forward to returning to the hotel in the near future!

This place surprised us in a great way. We were looking for somewhere nearby and weren’t after great food or service. A waterfront place that we could enjoy the sunset was our main focus. Everything we had was very fresh and flavorful. Service was very friendly and attentive. Will definitely go back when I am in the area next time.
