    We appreciated being seated on the quieter side of the restaurant versus the tv/bar side. The food was very delicious and the service was prompt and excellent. The clams in my wife's linguine were super fresh and tender and the pizza I ate was as good as most East Coast pizzas. The crust was crispy, puffy excellent.

    Great food really enjoyed our meal including the starters we had. Average service, main dishes did take a while to be served even with an early reservation. Pleased overall. Will definitely go back.
