    Waited 25 minutes in the “lounge” a dungeon like structure in a cold modified basement before delayed seating . Restaurant is incredibly loud when crowded making it very difficult to hear anything ! Food was very good and service was great despite a very crowded evening ! Plenty for leftovers tonite !

    Absolutely delicious pizza and appetizers. Good value and love the byob. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Main courses were just ok. Salmon was delicious and cooked perfectly. Veal Milanese was thick and tough and not that flavorful and the baked pasta was overcooked and did not seem to fit the description in the menu. I would go again for appetizers and pizza.

    My friend and I had dinner together. She truly enjoyed the lobster ravioli. Following the server’s suggestion or ordering the steak or lamp chops, which were daily specials, I ordered the lamb chops cooked medium. They were very thin and small, charred on the outside with a considerable amount of fat. The lamb chops were drizzled with a basil oil and medium inside. The mashed potatoes with the lamb chops were delicious, both the potatoes and lamb chops were seasoned with garlic. Next time, I will order an Italian entree or a pizza.

    My wife and I eat out a lot in the Cape May area and last night, I ate one of the best dinners of my life. My wife and I split a pear salad and brown sugar gnocchi (that were to die for) and we both had the salmon, (I had the crispy salmon, with medium spicy and my wife had salmon prepared differently and they cooked to perfection!

    We go here often, food is great, nice portions. Our waitress Maureen was terrific. Focaccia is wonderful, grilled octopus app was outstanding along with caprese salad. Dinners were pasta dishes, shrimp and sachetti and garganelli and Pinot with huge shrimp and scallops, so full had to take most of it home which is so nice to enjoy another night. BYOB is great!
