Excellent food -- osso buco!! A delicious argula, parmesan chips, and oil & lemon juice salad. Simple & remarkable. All in a homey neighborhood spot -- trattoria, if you wish.

First time dining at this restaurant. Went for lunch with a work colleague. Excellent service—from the reception to the table. Friendly and professional. Ordered Woodchuck chuck pizza (yes—I spelled it correctly). Excellent! Colleague ordered chicken — same review. (He also ate some of my pizza after finishing his meal. Lesson learned: keep pace to prevent poaching). Fantastic experience. Will return.

Such an excellent choice for date night dinner. The waiter brought a tasting of two wines so I could decide. She answered all of our meal requests questions. We were able to modify/sub items in the meal with no charge and everything down to the dessert was excellent. 10/10 experience.

We sat outside and had the beautiful heat lamp to keep us warm. The simple bread and butter and pretzel were great to start and split among 5. We all had the Steak and frites … simply delicious. Perfectly prepared and the steak melted in your mouth. Our server was excellent. Love this place.

My chicken parm and my wife’s crab cakes were very good. Table overlooked the water. All was very fine.
