"Tried this place for food week. The Hostest was rude to my wife. The waiter was terrible. We had to keep asking the buser, and he would get him. It was only us and an other couple, so they were not busy. The food was OK, nothing to write home about."

"what a disappointment! Me and my wife dine for great food all the time and we thought we would try a new spot which I hate to do unless I know its going to be good, taking the risk of ruining you night and hard money is not what I want. The place looked cozy with a great atmosphere and we were welcomed in by a smiling face , the service was average. NOW, the important part , the FOOD. probably the worst food ever! The dry chicken probably cooked hours ago and heated upon order, the taste was horrible , slimy chicken skin with dry chicken cover with sauce to hide old cooked food is how I would describe it. The Pasta tasted like it was under cooked and flavor of the sauce was worse jarred shelf products from a cheap market. After 2 bites we just wanted to leave and did NOT eat our food. We paid the bill and left. On the way way out I think our waiter realized that we were disappointed since we did not eat but 2 bites and informed the lady at front door. She caught up to us and asked multiple times till she got the real answer of our experience. I had tell her . Anyway we spent hard earned monies and a ruined night this why when you find a good spot never veer from it !! I have no idea how this place has so many stars."

"First time and it won’t be the last, so happy my wife and I try this restaurant. It took us back when we visited Florence. Everything we order was prepared and seasoned perfectly. I order my drink name after my daughter and me and they made it to perfection, I call it the Arabella Sprits: Aperol, Prosecco, Limoncillo and Tequila with a slice of Orange. Try it you’ll love it.. The service was top notch and love that the chef walk around the restaurant talking to us. Can’t wait to go back and try other dishes."

"Was surprised upon our arrival inside the restaurant as they had us follow them outside up a paved road to a rooftop restaurant. It was a unique experience with somewhat nice views of the ocean. I will say that the service was spectacular from an authentic Italian server, possibly Sicilian. Wine suggestion was magnificent but my expectations were high after he was raving on and on about the dishes being the best there is in town. They weren't bad but definitely not something to write home about. I still tipped him very well due to his enthusiasm and positive attitude."

"We went there for valentines and it was lovely. They have a nice patio with a peaceful view of ocean sunset! For sure you can find other restaurants with better view but everything here was good. The waiter was so friendly and helpful. Good red wines. And good foods. We ordered fettuccine with shrimp and chicken. It is not really fancy restaurant but fir what you pay it was good. I definitely recommend it. For two with two glass of wine and 20% tip, 95 bucks!"
