    Amazing place and I will totally come back! The food was excellent and so was the service! The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars was because the crowd was much older than I thought (60 plus) so beware.

    We were seated quicking and had a reservation. Beautiful waterfront dining on the intercoastal waterway. Our server Ashley was excellent, friendly and very attentive. We were not rushed although the place filled up quickly. Ordered the sushi as an appy then went with their their fresh fish entrees. truely fresh and delicious. Portions were generous. For dessert we had the cheescake and the 5 layer chocolate cake. We were told all desserts were baked on premises by their pastry chef and it showed. The chocolate cake was HUGE for $ 14 no way to even attempt to finish it. If I had to pick on one item, not their fault, the sunset was blocked by a high building acroos the waterway.

    This was truly the best Italian cuisine we’ve had since moving f here from NY/NJ area. Everything was reminiscent of Florence Italy from the small cozy Cucina like atmosphere to the authentic Italian food.

    Dinner was delicious. The table had the grilled cheese, Greek salad, sea scallops, fish sandwich and crispy duck. Everyone was happy. Jordan was our server and she is great. She even helped present a birthday cake to my parents.
