    Once again, this gem of a restaurant shines. With the owner, Massimo, bustling about greeting guests, and the excellent professional and consistently top-notch service from Marco, to lovely Fallon behind the bar with her mixology magic ….. This hot spot continues to be the culinary oasis of Fairfield. Bravo and thank you for our annual holiday kick-off dinner - a delight.

    It was our first time here, we were seated in a corner table, which was a little tight. A small row of 2 tops.  Wait staff was wonderful ! Music when first arrived was lovely ! However as got busier , music was too loud w/diff vibe of music . Has great potential needs to add a little bit more to the menu. My meal was delicious, It was pasta that they special made for me vegetarian, my husband enjoyed the special Atlantic cod ! Salads only were offered in large size for the table, adding sides of salads would be great as option . The chairs were wooden a cushion would be very helpful !  again, the staff was quite delightful !

    A very peasant place to be. The service was excellent with one glitch. It was resolved in a very satisfactory manner. We’ll return and recommend to friends On a Tuesday night the noise level was very acceptable. I think the dining space is well designed

    Thought we had a restaurant week menu so that was a bummer to hear it was just for lunch (but dinner pricing.) Then our 1 mocktail was $14 for watered down fruit juice drink. $18 for a glass of wine that would buy the bottle at the store. Bread served with meal - requested by then and because we were famished. Finally $32 for truffle pasta with very little truffle taste, mediocre sauce, and underdone noodles. Should have sent it back. But hungry and weary by then. Won’t be back.
