We went on a Monday night for a birthday so it was fairly quiet. Waitress was lovely and kind. Portions are huge. Salads are worth splitting, same for desserts. Traditional Italian food and setting. A neighborhood gem.

I brought my nephew to Gluten free Monday. He has serious food allergies and does not often get to experience dining out. The wait staff (Ryan) and Manager, Maureen made him feel exptra special and paid very careful attention to his significant allergies. We had a great evening and I will definitely go back! Thank you!

All the food was delicious, our server was really sweet and helpful, and the space is so fun! Definitely stop in, and especially if you used to go to Old Port Tavern and want to be floored by the remodel of the space.
