    Best restaurant in town. It’s truly a gem. The halibut was the best piece of fish I’ve ever had.

    This was the first time visit and got very impressive. Fir two people, we ordered Beef Carpaccio, Artichoke Oreganata, Broil Jumbo Sea Scallops, Crab Stuffed Shrimp & Scallops, and two cocktails. Everything was tasty. Service was also very good. Definitely will go back again.

    This is a hidden gem that’s been there forever. Kind of tucked away right on northern boulevard in Manhasset. The food is outstanding and the staff is very professional and welcoming. The fresh pastas are sublime. Please go, you won’t be disappointed.
