    Booked this for my book group for dinner tonight, for 8 of us. We all raved about our food. Dishes we ordered included the pasta with pancetta, the spinach pasta with salmon, the cod, the seafood stew, pizza, pear dessert and crème brûlée. Oh and I can’t forget the bread with the pesto/olive oil/vinegar dip. The wine selection and service was excellent as was the ambiance. No piano music tonight but it was full and did not seem loud at all. We can’t wait to come back to this new favorite gem.

    This restaurant was so cute inside. Small and intimate, but not crowded. Our server, Junior was very knowledgeable and friendly. The food was wonderful and we had a great evening before our show at the Dr. Phillips Center. We will definitely be back next time we are in town for an event!
