"We made reservations months in advance because this has always been our favorite restaurant. Unfortunately, we were seated in the alcove, which was extremely uncomfortable for me as I am over 6 feet tall. After placing our order, my wife chose a fish special, but when it arrived, it was cold. I also had to ask for more water twice, and no one checked in on us during our meal. We never received our check and ended up having to go to the entrance to pay. The staff mentioned they were short-staffed and had a lot of walk-ins, but we never saw a manager or owner during our visit. To make matters worse, there were fruit flies and house flies buzzing around our table. We've dined here many times while on vacation, but paying $44 for cold fish was unacceptable. We won't be returning."

eating is delicious, the gnocchi with Aurora sauce was better than any I ever had anywhere! the service is excellent, remy is knowledgeable and friendly and treats a very complete restaurant like a profi. the host is sweet and seemed to help if necessary. the room is loud as it fills up, but it added to the happy atmosphere. highly recommended and we will make it a regular place for us.

The dining experience was less than satisfactory. The portion sizes were small and the food lacked flavor. Upon being seated, we discovered that there was no bread or soft drinks available. It felt as though we were lucky to be dining at their establishment, and no one bothered to apologize for the shortcomings. Overall, I was disappointed with the experience. However, it did provide us with something to laugh about for years to come. View menu

An absolute treat for people who are looking for a portion of authentic Italian food. The view from the restaurant itself is splendid, and they have an upper and lower deck. The staff is fantastic, with genuine care and attentive towards the customers. Our hostess, Jona, was exceptionally caring. She recommended the best food to try and curated the menu for us like a 4-course meal. The clams and calamari were excellent, and Tiramisu is a definite try. The restaurant is BYOB, and they offer chilling if needed. The parking is plenty around the Marina, and the restaurant has a decent-sized lot.

The food deserves 4 stars; however, we encountered some issues with our reservation for a party of two. In the end, we were seated on the outdoor front deck. Service was a bit inconsistent since we were the only table outside. We didn't receive napkins until later in the meal, and there was no bread served. My husband had spaghetti with clams, which really needs bread to complement it, so that was quite disappointing. On the positive side, the food was very good! We've been here before, and I've noticed that others have also mentioned the lack of bread. This is something that needs to be addressed.
