The venue itself is in the tennis court section which ironically was quite calming. Waitstaff was extremely helpful and attentive throughout the meal. They start you with a focaccia bread and two tapenades which were delicious. They make pasta fresh here daily and also rotate the menu seasonally so all the dishes are seasonally fresh. We tried the crab dip ($22) to start, which tasted fresh and was quite flavorful. I tried the grouper for $48. This is a dish that is always on the menu and was quite flavorful, hearty, and well flavored. Highly recommend! My husband tried the steak for $55 and felt it was good, not great. My children tried the pasta with butter and loved it. As it was my birthday, the waiter surprised us with a small dessert with a candle for my family to sing happy birthday which was a really nice surprise! This is a real splurge meal and it feels like it.

The 4 of us could actually carry on a conversation without shouting. Our server Kaylee was engaging and well informed about the menu items and the wine list. When my friend was unsure of which of two wines to choose, she offered a sample of each. Nice touch. We split the Burrata and Fig appetizer and it was delicious. Our friends chose the Polpetta con Polenta and it was equally as delicious. The wines by the glass were fairly priced and there were plenty of choices. My main was the Braised Beef Short Rib over mushroom ravioli. Big portion and incredible flavors. My wife had the Gnocchi al Pesto and was also very pleased. Like the wine, the entrees were fairly priced.We split a piece of the Limoncello cake which was light and flavorful. The chef here doesn't have an Italian last name but sure the heck knows what he is doing in the kitchen. Absolutely no complaints.

The gave me a new steak which still some fat in it, but not as much. It was served more like medium well. Of course my husband finished his meal before I got mine, which wasn't the best experience.

The decor really hasn't changed; it's still one of the nicest rooms on the island. We showed up with three bottles of wine from deep in our cellar, and they handled them well. I offered to cork the 2015 Chablis, as I was a little unsure about the cork stability, and they were fine with that. (By the by, the wine was fine; absolutely wonderful, in fact). Our party of 7 ordered across the menu; the burrata starter (with an extra order of focaccia, as suggested by the server), the meatballs, the suppli, and 1/2 dozen of the east coast oysters. The oysters were great; small, shallow cup, briny and fresh. The suppli were small, but cut into bite size portions, we shared them around, and the taste was all there. The meatballs were slightly smaller than we thought they'd be, but they were meaty, juicy, and came in a ragu that perfectly complemented them. The burrata was the star of the show; fresh, milky, and accompanied with diced tomatoes, onions and strawberries. We were in luck with out entrees; they had their burger on the menu. The burger is made from scraps of their Waygu steak. It was served on a toasted brioche bun with melted cheese, house burger sauce, and house made pickles. The fries were delivered extra crispy, as I requested. It was one of the best burgers I've ever had. Truly spectacular. The pastas really shone; the lobster ravioli were wonderful (though the portion was a little smaller than we thought is should be) with thin hand stuffed pasta and plentiful lobster filling; the pasta carbonara was wonderful (and prepared with guanciale, as it should be), and the English pea and mint agnolotti was a vegetarian's dream. The smoked chicken lasagna was a huge portion served in a cast iron coquette; I seem to recall it from the old menu, and it was as good as always. We were all stuffed after our feast, but we still had room to share some of the mini cannolis. They were made à la minute; no mushy pastry shell here. First class dessert Service was good, pricing was reasonable, and the atmosphere was lovely; highly recommended for modern Italian on Amelia Island.
