As with other reviewers, the owner came and explained the menu to us. We were 5 so we ended up sharing 4 appetizers and 5 entrees. Had we known how much food it would be, we might have dialed it back but we wanted to try all the things. The predominant themes in our meals were red shrimp, mackerel and sardines. For starters we shared: The local red shrimp with salt and pepper. I cannot remember the last time I had shrimp so fresh. The flavors was amazing. If you're an American, be advised that these are head on. The anchovy balls with tomato sauce, like arrancini but with anchovies instead of rice. The tomato sauce was rich and flavorful as were the anchovy balls. The fresh local mackerel over salad with lemon vinaigrette., the lemon vinaigrette made the mackerel come alive. So good and substantial. And the eggplant appetizer which made for a nice pure veggie balance. For entrees we had the anchovy pasta, the red shrimp pasta, the local mixed grill of calamari, mackerel and jumbo red shrimp and the grilled tuna. We all shared each other's plates and I can't say there was a true favorite. The flavors were great in each dish. Finally the wine list....I want to say it was at least 30 bottles of well priced Italian varietals. We had the Pecorino which my son agreed was the smoothest nicest wine he had sampled. The staff was just so welcoming and kind. I am glad we went and grateful to past Yelpers for steering us here.,

It was not a girl (the girl standing there was quite polite and felt bad about her superior's distasteful tone)... The elder lady specifically disrespected me and dismissed me with a clear and emphatic look of scorn before turning her back on me, assuming I'm American (a crime?). An embarrassment of a hospitality owner or employee. I've been all over this amazing country and have only had wonderful experiences... including tonight at the place we went to down the street after this debacle. I was speaking Italian, so certainly no communication problem, and this rude old lady came in and said, "Table for 5?! Hah! This is not McDonald's," and walked away. Wow. Shame on them. Plenty of other good options. First negative restaurant/interpersonal experience ever in this country after coming here a dozen times over the past 25 years.

They were connected to an Irish Pub next door. The hostess was very friendly, although waiter was not. Which made us wish we had ate somewhere else.

The Gnocchi was good, although I wished I'd picked a different sauce. The seating was fine outside for people watching.

I think i got luckyy, she said hers tasted like it had been put through the dishwasher once bread was fully just rocks from the Amalfi cliffs themselves. giving three stars because the family running was SO SWEET and friendly and made us feel at home. gave everyone free savory pastry when seated and i wanted to love this place, even had yelp out with a drafted 5 star review before the food came out :( i would go again!! but ONLY for the zucchini spaghetti!!!
