Called to make reservations and even though they open for dinner at 7, I was told to come at 7:30. We arrived a little earlier and they let us sit and we got to enjoy the nice view, though the tables closest to the windows were reserved (which the folks didn't show up til past 9 PM!). Our waiter was so friendly and nice, and we got to order a variety of food. Had the oysters, grilled veggie platter, green salad, and octopus salad (did not see it on the menu but waiter brought this out for us). Even the bread basket was tasty, best we had on the whole week long trip! Kind of funny as we saw lots of their staff smoking in the kitchen.... Knowing it was a seafood known restaurant, I decided to order the shrimp scampi though my heart really wanted the bucatini with tomato sauce and pancetta. When it came out, I was really skeptical. First off, way too much ginger and took that all off. The shrimp were nicely cut, easy to take out. The pasta was in this weird ginger, lemon and butter sauce....and the noodles were perfectly al dente....and I didn't realize...in my 8 days, it was the first time I killed the entire pasta. Going to have to try this weird concoction at home sometime. Everyone really enjoyed their dishes, but I would say their dessert you can pass...I love panna cotta and though it wasn't on the menu...we ordered one. It had a chocolate licorice topping.......and I did not care for it at all! When we got our bill, it was all wrong. They added another table's tab to ours! Had to get that fixed and the waiter was super apologetic. Always check your bill!

Although we do find it interesting that our first meal in Italy was as a western themed place. Made us a little nervous about the quality of the food. Although it was a steakhouse.

As we wait the place started filling up, Mother's Day, there were mainly Italian families. Our meals arrived an we were pleasantly surprised. Husband's steak was prepared to perfection with a very fresh salad topping it. My pizza was large and tasty. We could easily share it between us. The service was great, young woman friendly and filled our needs. The pricing was very reasonable.

We ordered bottled water which arrived in a used and dirty bottle with mold around the rim. The place was filthy dirty. My husband's steak was filled with stringy gristle and fat. The prices were ridiculous.

She is not overly friendly like you would see in an American establishment. Here they don't give a fake impression of friendliness. To be fair though she is a little unemotional, but not terrible. She definitely warms up when you show that you respect the Italian way. That leads me to the complainer who tried to return food and exchange it for something else. That is so obnoxiously American. The Italians believe that they are the e Peet's on Italian food ( which they are) and when you try to exchange something they see the problem with you, they do not feel that they should eat the cost of your mistake, so rightly so, in this culture, they were not happy. You should be thrilled that they went along with your insulting request. I showed up here 30 minutes after they opened and there was no issue, in fact there were already people in the restaurant when I got here. As for the food. I ordered my favorite wine which only came by the bottle, so when I asked if I could take it back to my room, she actually cracked a smile. I had Calamari it was fresh and was delicious. She didn't like me not ordering all of my food at once so at some point she took the menu thinking I was done after the calamari. When I pulled out the yelp pictures and told her what I wanted she explained that the picture had tomatoes but traditionally this dish came with a white sauce. I chose the traditional. For dessert I had ricotta and pears. My meal was delicious and my service was pretty good. I think the key is to make an effort to say something in Italian.
