    A win for Shelton…Our first time here and highly recommend! Our server, Julia, was just on third week working there and service was outstanding and food was great! Recommend mussels-the fennel and roasted garlic cream sauce was so tasty as was the octopus; the gnocchi is so fresh, it melts in your mouth; linguine & clams: an excellent amount of clams and limes how they chunks of tomatoes and foccacia crumbs. Will definitely be returning to try other items on the menu. Hope they maintain their level of service and food quality.

    Went with some old friends and sat in the room when you walk in to the right it was beautifully decorated and the noise level was perfect to catch up with them. Our waiter Diego was the best he didn’t rush us and the timing of everything was perfect. Looking forward to going back. Oh the food was awesome too!!
