    This place is a must. It’s a beautiful restaurant with rustic and modern to give you perfect ambience. Staff is like family. They remember you always and that’s something you don’t find everywhere. Food amazing. So many choices enough to make you return. So delicious. We ordered the Big Jumbo Scallops they were perfect. Rigatoni (GF) Chicken n Shrimp. Our friends had the Sunday Sauce and the Zuppa di Pesce. Their first time and will be returning. We had a great time!!! Thanks see you again soon.

    We had a delicious lunch. My husband had salmon and I had the seafood pasta (wonderfully spicy). We then shared a yummy crème brûlée and cappuccinos. We have dined here many times and always enjoy the food and ambience. Sitting by the fireplace and looking out at the ocean is always a treat! We will be back soon.
