As always, nothing but the best experience here. It was a late dinner on a Sunday night, off-season, so it was pretty quiet

The positives … Andrew our server was attentive, but not overbearing. The entire meal from the caprese salad & baby artichoke salad were tasty! The malfidini pasta with bolognese sauce & scallop special were delicious! Now the negative … the noise level was horrendous especially the table of four sitting 2 feet away. If you’re a couple who wants to enjoy each other’s company & evening this is not the place to go to. Wait till the weather gets warmer to sit outside where it’s quieter.
