“Solid Family Place With Very Good Food”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 1, 2013

The main dining room is separated from the bar which made for a quiet, private feeling dinner.

There were six of us and everyone was very satisfied with his/her meal. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the sauce very good. The lasagna is particularly good.\The portions are huge.

The service was just on the edge of intrusive, but they kept an eye on everything. Wine list is not impressive.

Parking is tough, but the meal is worth the effort.

“" Sweet charming neighborhood restaurant "”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 4, 2013

My husband and I rented a small cottage for a week on the beach. The owners recommended it in their information book. The first night we ordered pizza and a caesar sale delivered. Totally pleased with the order especially the side red pepper and parmesan cheese served in a small container. We then decided to try the restaurant one evening and sat at the bar in the back. The food was quite good and the service and atmosphere together made us satisfied. We will be traveling again in February and definitely will go back.

“Best Authentic italian food in town”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 14, 2012

I've been to Italy several times, and this place can beat some italian restaurants in Rome as well. Great Pizzas and solid Tiramisu. It needs more wine on the list but they have great cocktails. I've tried the Spasso Martini and I loved it, if you like Negroni that's what you want to order. Service was fantastic.
