    Excellent Neapolitan Pizza and you'll be wowed by the personable service. The manager went out of his way to accommodate the seating we requested, and our server Angie (with real-deal roots in Naples) was an absolute delight. Cozy spot. Dim lighting. Great place to reconnect with a friend or friends, and probably a good date spot as well. Truly enjoyed the award-winning pizza. Also - authentic pizza sauce with No Onion or Garlic! Bravo!!!!! Only drawback - Sports on the TV above the bar detracted from the ambience. Too bright. There's enough good vibe here without it. Overall Highly Recommended!

    Still one of my favorite restaurants. The octopus is one of the best that I had, as well as the oarmegiano claims. The capelini was the least interesting one, but still good. Can't wait to come back!

    Kamahachi never dissappoints. Best sushi, best service, in the coziest well appointed dining room. The lighting is PERFECT. That can make or break the experience for me. Crispy rice appetizer special was especially great. Maki are very generous and well balanced without being too over-the-top. Fish is top notch and the warm bites and entrees are all worth a try, too. Can’t say enough good things about this Old Town gem!
