    Amazing service on busy Valentine's Day! Our server paced our orders perfectly. Excellent cocktails. Lovely Caesar salad and shrimp scampi for starters. Our server checked on us often and bus staff were on top of clearing at just the right time. Tables are very small and crowd easily! Barely any elbow room. ( Our only nit pick) Delicious boar ragu over parpadelle and a likewise veal/ braised beef stuffed pasta were al dente and beautifully presented. Huge wine list. We split a pistachio semifreddo- we were stuffed and happy!

    Great time! Had to ask for corn bread twice but finally got it! Fish chowder and mashed potatoes were not hot, rather luke warm to cold. But delicious nonetheless. Third visit and we will be back since we live local.

    The food and the place was very good! But the service was on the slow side. Yes I know it was Valentines day but we noticed our waitress went to other tables after us and they got their food/drinks before us. It took 40 minutes to get our drinks and 50 to get our oysters as an appetizer. Once we put in our food it went smoothly. It wasn’t the ideal night.
