    Outstanding food and outstanding service! Our choices included Arancini, Truffled Short Rib Risotto and Veal Milanese, all of which came out piping hot and were portioned generously. The kitchen is obviously skilled and knowledgeable, as all the food was savory and flavorful. The entire waitstaff (host, bar staff, servers and runners) was professional, attentive and friendly. The restaurant itself can be annoyingly loud at times, but that won't deter us from returning. Highly recommended. They won't disappoint.

    My family enjoyed a wonderful meal on Friday, December 13th and we left thinking…this maybe the best restaurant in the Cape! Our meals (Veal, Pork Chop, Haddock and Chicken) were all prepared and presented beautifully! Service was great and we enjoyed some wine from a very diverse wine list. We can’t wait to return again for another great night!

    Great food. Love the atmosphere. Very friendly place. Lots of smiles. Service slightly slow but good for conversation time. Definitely a place high on the list.

    Food and service was fantastic but the room was quite loud. We shared one appetizer which was more than enough for two to share. The entrees were both served at the perfect temperature. We shared one dessert and did not leave hungry!

    Thank you so much Brad for your kind words- we are definitely a lively busy place and depending upon the guests in each room the enjoyment may be more effusive- looking forward to your return!

    Everything was great but the background music. Not in fitting with the establishment. Was better when more folks arrived and drowned it out. But then noise level was a concern.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts- we like to provide an upbeat vibe for our guests, sorry if it wasn't to your liking- we hope you will return soon!!
