Best Italian Restaurants in Natick

It has been over 2 decades since I last ate here! Ownership has changed and the menu probably has as well. What you would expect of an Italian restaurant in terms of food and quality of seafood was good. Mussels appetizer had 2 of 30 (or so) that didn't open. Branzino was a good size and cooked well. Service was perhaps a bit overly attentive at the beginning as if they were in a rush for us to order by asking us every couple of minutes if we were ready, but once we did, never felt rushed to leave the table the rest of the night.

Food was delicious. I ordered the salmon poke bowl which I had last time I dined here. I loved it so much i ordered it again and was not. disappointed. I only wish there was a bigger selection of draft beers. My fellow diners loved their entrees also- the branzino and chicken parm. Will definitely return for lunch/and or dinner- since the menu is the same.

Our waiter, Scott, was very attentive and helped with our special order.

Food and service was top notch! If I can add 1 ‘thought’: if you’d remove just 1 block of tables along the booth wall I think it would make a world of difference. The server kept bumping against our table while she scooted in to serve our neighboring tables. Just a little more space would create a more intimate setting. My husband and I prefer ‘date night’ seating and I feel there’s only possibly 2/3 tables that would meet that desire. Finally- I DO want to thank the mgr for allowing us to stay at a 4 person table(as we were only 2). The alternative would really have had an impact on my review. PS. Just omit 1 table😁

Since the beginning years ago, an outstanding restaurant continues to deliver creative Italian cooking and successful ambience...delicious every time. BRAVO!
