The sauce had okay flavor, I could see what they were going for but it was a very distant flavor that I don't think soaked into the chicken very well. I dipped the bread we got in the sauce and was able to taste it better there. The service was very fast and the waitress was very kind. There were a lot of people at the bar which was very welcoming, and the general atmosphere wasn't bad. Maybe the food was just not for us.

Not Chewy but almost buttery. But two factors take away a star for me. First off, our appetizer took forever and service could be spotty at times. Most tables around us were already on their main course but it just slowed the whole meal. Add to that prices that tip the scales in part. Clams and fries for near $40 is just a bit steep. My clams were quite good but it was a modest portion for the price. That said would I come here again? Yep. Just keep my wallet full.

Our dinner was a triumph of flavors, starting with wonderful hush puppies infused with crab meat and a truly excellent clam chowder. My wife's fried fish was perfectly cooked and complemented by wonderful-tasting onion rings. You absolutely *must* try their Lobster Rolls - they're a signature dish for a reason! Located right on the pier by the big boats, this spot offers not just great food but also a palpable connection to New Bedford's rich maritime past, a city that once stood as the whaling capital of the world. The atmosphere here is an absolute highlight, earning a perfect 10/10 with its fun red-checkered floors and red tables, big yellow umbrellas, and the energetic bustle of the working waterfront. While the service, rated 7/10, was adequate, the overall experience more than compensates. Parking is easy to find, though be prepared for a 30-minute wait, which is a testament to its popularity. This establishment caters to adults, as there are no provisions for children or highchairs. I will be back!

We started with the calamari with spicy peppers and salsa rossa, which was delicious, well seasoned and very generous in portion. The Caesar salad with lemon-garlic dressing and a parmigiano crisp was perfectly balanced and fresh. The cacio e pepe arancini were a delightful surprise and quickly became a favorite at the table. For entrées, the scallops with risotto were outstanding. The Chicken Bosco and Chicken Francaise were both amazing: tender, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. For dessert, my mom loved the caramel apple cannoli, which paired perfectly with her cappuccino. It was an excellent meal from start to finish, with attentive service and great food. We'll definitely be back.

The zuppa toscana was flavorful but arrived a bit cold, which affected the texture. (Not necessarily their fault) but it paired well with the complimentary rosemary bread. It was so soft and easily the highlight of the meal, though the butter was quite salty. The chicken Milanese was cooked well, and the arugula and tomatoes were fresh, but the sweet, Italian dressing adjacent sauce didn't work for me. My fiancé ordered the pizza which was also just okay. We topped it with balsamic drizzle which elevated it. Overall, I wasn't very impressed and will likely stick to my usual spots, like Ma Raffa's, for Italian. They also forgot the silverware I requested, which wasn't a big deal but worth mentioning. All in all, I'm sure there are better things to order from here, but I wasn't wowed by anything I tried.
