“Went for dinner on Friday evening. Great food and drinks. The service was excellent. The martinis and wine were very good. The food was excellent including the lobster ravioli, eggplant pasta, and the mushroom pasta. The bread was good, but the olive oil needs more flavor with herbs. Our server was excellent I would recommend this place, but make reservations. Also, do not pick the outside patio for fine dining. The indoor dining is very nice, but they have metal tables for the outdoor patio.”
“Great Italian cuisine. A decent sized menu with diverse and creative selections of authentic Italian dishes. Great seafood. Fresh herbs seem to be used in every dish. The staff was great. The restaurant itself is set back a bit but still very visible from the main road and a medium to large parking structure. The interior and we'll lira and decorated. Overall a great restaurant with excellent food and a nice atmosphere (IMO). Thank you.”
“Had a very nice dinner here. We had the pumpkin ravioli and shrimp scampi. Both were very good. The olive oil served with the bread was very flavorful. The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice and the server was sweet. I would happily return.”
“We went for a pre-Father’s Day celebration Saturday night and we had reservations for 7:15 PM. When we arrived our table was ready to go and there was absolutely no wait. Our waiter came right over and asked us for our drinks, even though the restaurant was extremely busy. We started off with the zucchini florettes, they were good, but I do not recommend. They reminded me of Chinese chicken fingers!, that same doughy consistency. Dinner was nice I’ve got the seafood medley, seafood was very fresh you could definitely tell it was not frozen and it was served with tomato sauce. My husband got the Gnocchi, it was drowned in tomato sauce, but it was good and he enjoyed it. Overall it was a nice evening out, food was good as well as the service. Update: Another great meal! All the food was delicious! If you don’t want to drive to Boston for Italian food, this place is the next best thing on the SS! Plenty of parking, beautifully decorated and the staff are professional and knowledgeable about the menu. This place is always packed, so make sure you make reservations!”
“We went here on Mother's Day for the first time. The south shore of Mass is really lacking in quality Italian food, and so we were hoping this would be a win ....but it wasn't. We left so incredibly disappointed. I will start with the pros- the ambience is great. It reminded me of being in Europe. Lovely outside and inside. Another pro is that the waitress was kind. The con = the food itself. It was horrible. Not one of our meals was edible. I ordered a dish on the 'specials' menu that had braised tenderloin over pasta with peas. What ruined this dish is that it was overpowered by a very strong taste of cinnamon... it made me feel sick to my stomach. (It must be an ingredient they used that is very similar to cinnamon... I have no idea what that is....all I know is that it was sickening). My husband ordered the chicken saltimbocca, and it was nauseating. The slimy sauce poured on top tasted just like a can of Campbell's soup. It had a very bland and synthetic/chemical taste. My mother and brother-in-law both got the frutti di mare, and they both said it was the worst frutti di mare they had ever eaten. The seafood was tough as well. I have more to say on the food, but it's not worth it. We were all so incredibly disappointed because the menu itself, as written, sounds delicious. And the ambience is great. I really hope this place gets a new chef...or maybe completely new ownership to turn it around. Such a lovely building to be wasted on inedible food.”
