Excellent service. Rain or shine the staff and food is amazing!! Even though the seating is outside and there was a small rain shower the staff was more than accommodating! Can’t wait to go again on a nicer night. Would definitely recommend!!

We were looking forward to trying this restaurant during a family visit. I was a bit disappointed. My husband and I ordered the Lobster Fra Diavolo and although very tasty, the dish had very little lobster, the main ingredient. It was primarily pasta with an abundance of red sauce. This dish was not served with any side. The wait staff did bring a basket of bread when asked. The bread was necessary to soak up the sauce. Our son however, was pleased with his baked stuffed lobster which was served with a starch and veggie. The Lava cake was very nice, although another disappointment was when we asked for coffee and was told that there wasn't any made that evening. Granted, it was hot that evening but a cup of decaf with the cake would have been nice. Over priced. The best part was the lovely views of the harbor.

Great service, great food, and a great location. Could not have had a better experience. Our server Alex did a great job. Always at the table checking on us and brought us what we needed as fast as he could. 10/10

Really looked forward to dining here. Although reviews were mixed, we decided to try. What a disaster! We arrived early to find the place empty (first red flag). Server wasn't too interested in serving, evidenced by his lack of timing, professionalism, and competence ( second red flag). Next were the meals, equally disappointing. How can you create such tasteless cuisine, and stay in business? Guess folks were enamored with the al fresco dining? We won't even go there.. If you're in town, and NOT hungry, want to dine in uncomfortable seating, and be poorly served, you've found the right place. There are several dining establishments more deserving of your business in Winthrop. Skip this one!

Seriously the best Italian food in the area Drove up from the south shore , sat in traffic , totally worth it Do miss out in the arsmcini SP? Rice balls! My wife is Glutem free , they have lots of choices which made my night a pleasure My wife loved the dining room and beer was cold . I have had Bolognese every where This was mind blowing . Meatball were delicious very lite garlic . Stuffed artichoke better than my nonni

Wanted to support local businesses so we decided to stay close for a Friday night out. Had the short ribs and calamari appetizer. Not impressed. Short ribs were too salty and not tender. The calamari was also less then average. We both skipped lunch to enjoy a nice evening out so we ate it all. Not seasoned, and rubbery. We were both worried about dinner. My husband got the tortellini in pesto sauce w shrimp and I opted for the ahi tuna. Both dinners were delish. Biggest shrimp I have ever seen. But it did come at a whopping $33 price tag. There was more sauce then pasta. Perhaps it was about 6 pieces of tortellini. My tuna entree was good but not memorable. Best part of the meal was the mashed potatoes with my entree. I'd say pass on the appetizers. Expect to pay a lot ($93). We wouldn't mind the prices but you need to give the right amount for that cost. And it would have been nice to be presented w something- basket of bread, crackers, something for the customer at the table. Most establishments do. Unfortunately, we won't be back.

The atmosphere, decor, food and staff were impeccable. Not in years have I felt compelled to rate and review my experience while dining out, but my fiance and I were amazed with just how memorable our time there was. From the moment we walked in the quaint and cozy venue I knew we had chosen the perfect place. We were made to feel like family, not patrons and the food was on a level we've yet to experience anywhere else- at any price.

We visited with another couple on a warm September night. We were told that the outdoor seating was not open so we were escorted to a table in a small room with a bar. We started with an Italian cheese and cold cut platter. This was authentic Italian at its best. The assorted Italian cheeses and meats were as good as the ones I had in Italy, we also shared a stuffed artichoke, equally classic Italian. For dinners we had a crab gravy over linguini, bolognese sauce with pasta, sausage and rabe over pasta and chicken saltimbocca. These dishes were good, not great. A ricotta cheesecake completed our meal. Our waiter was very attentive.
The owners are a delite! They will gladly make you anything you want. Rosemary has a knack for cooking and she lives to cook! A must go to place!

Fun night right on the water. Wait staff was excellent and the food was excellent. There was live music too.

Awesome spot with a great atmosphere near the water right outside the city. The food was amazing, and the staff was great at answering all our questions. We will be back!

We had a wonderful anniversary dinner! Authentic Italian food. Home made pasta. Fresh ingredients. Owner/family onsite and working in the restaurant. Very friendly atmosphere. Very European feel.

Insanely overpriced for what you get. The outdoor seating leaves much to be desired. Food wasn't anything special. Had to pay an extra $8 for them to throw a sausage on the pile of pasta. Check was brought in the middle of dinner. Saw that happen to a couple other tables. Not going back.
