We were greeted by the owner and he couldn't have been friendlier. He was so welcoming. The menu is quite extensive. You can get a small portion or a larger portion. Prices were reasonable. I ordered the seafood linguine and it was loaded with seafood. So tender and delicious. Cooked perfectly. My husband ordered the red snapper and loved his dish, too. I highly recommend this restaurant. The parking lot in the front was filled, but the owner said that if you park in the garage directly across the street , they would validate it. It was great because there were no parking spaces on the street. We will definitely go back.

Very cute little place. I usually head for DC when I want a dinner out, but this was a nice experience with parking on site in the close in suburbs. I didn't expect the food to be as good as it was because the menu was huge and wide ranging. I had the butternut squash ravioli in red pepper sauce and it was excellent. My husband's duck could have been a bit less cooked and cut more evenly, but the flavor was delicious and I would order that if I went back. The sauteed calamari was fresh and the sauce light and flavorful I really judge a restaurant on this dish, because I've had so much rubbery calamari. This was tender and perfectly cooked. Recommend as a great alternative to Ubering into the city if you want a nice dinner in Arlington.
