    Everything was good. Our server was very efficient and worked hard. My only complaint was the lighting. A bit bright and I asked for them to turn it down twice in which they did do.

    Very casual to the point that I was questioning the decision to dine there. That changed quickly because of the prompt service and delicious food. Great pizza and handmade pasta. We will be back..

    Food was the most authentic Italian I had in awhile with their homemade lobster ravioli and sauces they have for their other dishes. Pizza was fantastic as well . Service was friendly as well.

    A small restaurant which was relatively empty. Suited us fine since we had the attention of the owner and waiter. They made excellent recommendations. We had several courses. Bruschetta was excellent as was the Caesar salad. Veal piccata was excellent and the papparadelle with meatballs was good. We would definitely return.

    Just in Newport at the Beach. This Italian restaurant offers amazing food and service. Chef O runs a tight ship... that means your food will be amazing as well as hiring great people. Our pasta was all homemade, incredible! I had the short rib tortellini, another in our party had pesto pasta with shrimp... my husband ordered pizza. ALL delicious. (Sometimes you feel like you might not get a great meal so close to the boardwalk... like maybe too touristy... but no...we had such a delicious meal!!) Our server, Kaimana, was VERY attentive and treated us like family. Aloha! Our dining experience was a pleasure. Chef O, we will be back! :-)
