The Daily Catch - Baked halibut, with side of pasta on white sauce ( garlic and clam juice ) - Seafood Near Me - Brookline, Massachusetts

The two things I'd heard about the Daily Catch before I went there for the first time were these: (1) The line gets long fast. (2) The food is worth the wait. Both are true! I went here with a friend on a Saturday a little before 5:00, and there was a queue with about a dozen people ahead of us. We waited about an hour; the seating inside is limited to about 20 people at a time, and tables get pushed together and pulled apart as needed to accommodate larger or smaller dinner parties. Also, there was only one waitress (and one tireless chef!) covering the the whole place. The wait felt long by the end, but I'm glad to say that the food justified the time. My linguine with shrimp, scallops, and broccoli was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and taaaasty, and my friend loved her linguine with clams and calamari as well. The quality rivaled anything I've had in the North End, though price-wise, it's a little steeper than some comparable places (I think my dish was $24... a similar dish at Panza runs more like $21, and the portion is a bit larger). Still, it's far and away the best option for this kind of food around Brookline, and the food itself is delicious. My biggest regret is that we were going to a show afterward, so we couldn't take any leftovers -- otherwise, I would have also ordered the calamari appetizer and/or a seafood platter instead. Next time! read more

It's the real amazing thing for us to do in Boston! Even tho we waited an hour straight outside. But it's worth it. Also Brookline location seems more possible for the ppl want to try as the lines are shorter. The north end location is insane. For the weekend afternoon around 2-3 the line is at least 30 ppl. Good luck read more

We've been here before and the aglio olio steals the show normally - but this time there was a lobster scampi appetizer. Has to be the best thing I've eaten in a while! Don't waste your time getting things like calamari that you can eat at any ol restaurant.... squid ink pasta is where it's at. read more

In spite of having had a less than pleasant experience at the North End location, I decided to give the Daily Catch in Brookline a chance. I should have known better... I ordered the scallops served over linguine, & put simply, they were awful. I love garlic as much as the next person, but the sauce in this dish was way too garlicky. Moreover, the sauce was salty, & the scallops were chewy. When the waitress came over to ask how my meal was, I politely told her that I found the sauce to be a tad salty and garlicky. She became irritated & said that the chef did not add any salt to the sauce. I then proceeded to point out that the scallops were also overcooked, & she said that that was how the chef prepared the scallops. She went on to explain that the chef cooks the scallops ahead of time & then places them in the sauce, where they boil until being served (which explains the chewy texture). After saying this, the waitress promptly picked up my plate, went back to the kitchen, & then returned a minute later with the check, which she proceeded to slam down on the table. I was not asked if I wanted dessert, nor did she offer to comp my meal. I have never been treated so rudely by waitstaff. The only redeeming quality of this restaurant is their calamari, but it is hardly worth the trip here. read more

GO TO THE NORTH END LOCATION! I'd rather wait 2 hours there than eat here for free. The service was horrible and the food was bland. My boyfriend and I went to the North End location 3 times and was craving the blank ink pasta again but didn't want to wait so we decided to try this location out. Our bald waiter was rude when we asked him questions and he spilled water on me without apologizing. We ordered the Aglio Olio and haddock. The food was under seasoned and the pasta was dry af. read more

My mother is going to be so upset with me for saying this, but hands down, The Daily Catch has the best linguine with clams in white wine that I've ever had in my life. I visit 'The Catch' at least once a week with a few other colleagues, and the food is always outstanding, and the service is fantastic. The chef offers up daily specials, however the protein's seem to remain the same; salmon, tuna, swordfish (that one changes), but they are always creative with how each item is prepared. You really cannot go wrong with anything written in chalk on the board. They claim the best calamari in town. It's good, but I've certainly had better in other locations both in and out of Boston. The star of the show is the linguine in white wine sauce. You can order it with whole belly clams, chopped clams and calamari, and a few other options; however these are the two you want to get. Avoid the red sauce on your first trip, but don't overlook it on your return visit. I'd recommend the black squid ink pasta with mussels in the red sauce, ask for it spicy. Out. of. this. world. Your linguine is served in the saute pan with just the right amount of sauce that is absolutely dripping in garlic. You won't run out of clams before noodles, or vice versa; it's perfectly balanced. You're more than likely going to have to wait if you arrive after 7pm; but it's worth it. The place is small, maybe 7 or 8 tables total. Forget about going with more than 4-5 people as they really cannot accommodate you, but they'll do their best. Your server is everyone's server; there's only 1 in the whole place. But as long as you're able to maintain your patience you will have a truly outstanding meal. read more

The black pasta aglio olio was fantastic. It was one of the best black pasta I've had to date. It was made really well with the minced calamari and the seasoning was spot on. I paired it with a crispy white wine. I shared the shrimp and scallop pasta with my husband and that felt something to be desired. It tasted a little flat in my book. Next time I want to try the black pasta putanesca! read more

This should be a great place. The food is nicely prepared for a casual neighborhood restaurant. However like most of the restaurants in Coolidge corner it's slightly off kilter. None of the dishes are excellent, but they are consistently good. This was a really good value when the prices were below market value, but now it's pricey for what you get. Eating here on the weekend is a very stressful experience. Especially if you have small children. They don't take reservations and they have no system for judging wait times. When we arrived there were 2 couples waiting and we were told it would be about half an hour wait. 40 minutes later, couples appeared from nowhere and apparently were ahead of us. We were told at that point that it would be another 1/2 hour at least. I questioned the memory of the only hostess/waitress and she scolded me that it was her job to keep track of queue order. The whole process seemed rather random. Most restauranteurs who don't take reservations have the maturity to keep a list so patrons can get a reasonably and accurately get an idea of wait times. Clearly this is beyond the capability of the restaurant owners. By the time we got fed up and left the queue, I had a cranky 7 year old and overly stressed guests. No quality of food would make this experience better. I recommend you avoid this place on weekends unless you have greater than average patience. read more

The Daily Catch is a must try for Brookliners! I've walked past this place about 100 times and it never really caught my eye for reasons such as decor, ambiance, etc. but I finally gave it a go last month and FORGET the stylistic ambiance vibe, the food ROCKS. First of all it's pretty tiny and there is nothing fancy about the set up. Basic tables, a chalk board with scribbled specials, and drink cooler that holds wines and beers. For those basic elements this review would be at about a 2 star but the service and the quality of the food bring it to 4. I love the people who work there. They are so kind and very knowledgeable. They are working hard to make sure you are pleased and it shows. If you need a reservation, they will try their best to accomodate. I've been here with a group of 13 and with a party of 4. There isn't a waiting area so I would advise calling first as they will give you a good estimate of when a table will be prepared. I have to say that my favorite dishes here have consistently been the specials. They whip up the most delicious sauces to go with their seafood and everything is cooked to perfection. Their fresh in-house made squid ink pasta is unbelievable. I believe they only serve one dessert which is their homemade tiramisu. As for pricing, the entrees are usually around mid $20s but their wine and beer as very reasonably priced which help to balance this into a delicious and affordable meal. read more

Ordered take out from them on the weekend, no issues. Food was good and the hostess was friendly. Went back today to try to place another take out order. The bald waiter was rude and said there is a line without me saying anything. I told him it's just for take out. He rudely replied there is still a line. I won't be coming back, Giacomo's is way better food and friendlier service. read more

Two of my best friends was visiting Boston from overseas, I wanted to take them to a local authentic seafood restaurant so they can enjoy the seafood around Boston area. This place is certainly nice and catchy, we enjoyed the seafood, I think it is worth the wait if you have time(depending on the time of your visit you may be talking about 1-2 hours of waiting in line) The place is fairly small and the price is on the higher end side :) read more

Super small restaurant with only 8 tables. The service was outstanding! I order the yellowfin tuna in a sundries tomato mushroom sauce over homemade squid ink pasta! It was fabulous! Highly recommend this place, especially if your a fish lover...like me read more

The Daily Catch - Yellowfin tuna with Black pasta - Seafood Near Me - Brookline, Massachusetts

Terrible first and last impression. My friend and I walked over here to catch dinner Sunday night. When we got to the restaurant, there was about 6-7 people waiting outside, whom I assumed were waiting for their names to be called to be seated. Before I even opened the front door halfway and before I had the chance to ask to have our names put down/ask how long the wait was, the waiter/host came up to me and snootily said "ladies, the line is outside." RUDE. If they want people to wait outside without coming in first they should put a sign on the door. Or they should at least be polite about telling people what to do. We did not bother waiting and my friend and I ended up having a first rate dinner at another place a few blocks down. read more

In the mood for authentic Italian, you can't go wrong at the Daily Catch. I always order the linguine with clams, my favorite and usually start with clams casino, sooo tasty. A real gem of a restaurant in Brookline, i highly recommend it. read more

We asked for a good seafood place and we were told about this little place. No reservations,you wait til they call you in. Wow, great food, very nice wait staff. On vacation from Arizona. read more

Really fantastic Italian food. You MUST go early or you will wait forever, but it is worth it. There isn't a waiting area, as the restaurant is the size of a studio apartment, so you will have to wait outside. Torture in Boston weather some nights! They claim they have the best fried calamari in town. It really is amazing. It comes as an appetizer, and one teeny complaint, it says marinara sauce +$1. They didn't ask us if we wanted marinara (we would have said no!), served it to us anyway and charged us for it. Annoying. Anyway, the food is very fresh. So fresh they don't even bother with plates. They serve it to you in the pan it was cooked in! The squid-ink pasta is to die for, anything with garlic is a must. Huge portions, which is great for lunch the next day. Overall, go, but go early. read more

Mhm, Daily Catch! Open kitchen is a rare thing to see these day. Watching the chef at work makes you appreciate the food even more. Everything I've had here is delicious, with the pasta cooked just right. Favorites are the squid ink ink and the shrimp/scallops! Come earlier or except to wait during high tide for dinner. read more

The Daily Catch - Special of tuna steak with squid ink pasta - Seafood Near Me - Brookline, Massachusetts

Always like this place and it's my go-to for good quality seafood and pastas. The location is great too as it isn't as popular or insanely crowded as the North End location. Although I have never visited the North End location or the other ones (due to there always being a line and 1+ hour wait). The food here is pretty good, definitely a place that deserves the hype and its longevity of fame. Recommendations: Squid Ink Pasta: specifically Aglio Olio (calamari puree essentially with olive oil and garlic). My wife usually asks for more calamari puree sauce, which always helps but costs +2 dollars more. Regular Pasta: the calamari and clams: fresh and juicy with lots of flavor; I got this as a white sauce so it had a creamier texture. Also the Mussels Marinara is a good choice, but ask if they are fresh. If not, they can not be as enjoyable as it should be. Appetizers: The shrimp scampi is a good choice, light, refreshing and well flavored. Calamari meatballs are okay and works well with the bread they give (sometimes; depending on the rush, the server may forget), however it only slightly tastes like squid and you're probably better off getting something else. Fra Diavolo: A behemoth of food. Lobster, mussels, clams, squid, shrimp etc. All mixed with spicy tomato sauce and a 1/2 lb of pasta. Good to share for two but it does have a spicy bite to it (mild-medium). for $70 it definitely is something to try once and see. If you like a varietal seafood dish, this is all you need then. Decor: Nothing fancy, very casual, sort of reminds me of a fresco painting. It's cozy. Just be wary of the crying babies. This place seems to have catered to generations of regulars. Service can be iffy since they only have 1 person at a time serving the tables . . . I think that's why the wait is so long as well, since they only have 3 people operating the entire restaurant. It seems a little bizarre but if that was what has been working for them . . . Anyways, I usually go during the off hours and weekdays so that I can avoid the longer lines and regulars that frequent this place. Definitely a place to visit and enjoy. read more

I don't know if it was the 45 minute wait outside, from where we desperately watched smug diners take their sweet, sweet time at their much-desired tables in the ~24 seater restaurant. Or, it may have been the stale glazed donut stick I devoured to hold myself over until dinner? (Anything would've tasted better than that.) However, I'm 100% positive it had nothing to do with either of those; the Daily Catch has tasty food - it's as simple as that. To start, our party of 4 dug into shrimp scampi, a dish of 6 juicy pieces of plump shrimp, perfectly doused in a soupy sauce of olive oil, accented by bits of fragrant garlic and pepper flakes. Our veggie course was a caprese salad - simple and to the point: generously sized slices of mozzarella and ripe tomatoes, on top of fresh dark greens. For the mains - we ordered 2 Aglio Olio's and 2 Monkfish Marsala's. The former was served in a huge, hot pan, holding ample amounts of al dente squid ink pasta, bursting with depths of flavor. Each mouthful consisted not just of the flawlessly cooked noodles, but was accompanied by bits and pieces of nutty garlic and flavorful calamari. The olive oil united the separate components of the dish into a perfect plate of deliciousness. Now the latter, was quite interesting, a good interesting in my opinion. While the first few saccharine bites may rub you the wrong way, when paired with the monkfish, it's harmonious. The monkfish was tender and subtly meaty, and smother it with the creamy, buttery sauce, eat it with the pasta, and the unique combination works. With one server and one cook, it truly is impressive how efficient the service is and how delicious the dishes are. Highly recommend this seafood/Italian gem if you're ever in Boston. But be kind and considerate to other hopeful diners in line; don't deliberately linger after your meal. Nobody likes a hog. read more

We drive by Daily Catch at least 5 times a week on Harvard St, and there is always a line. We finally decided to give this place a try. Not sure if it's because we just came back from New Orleans and their bomb seafood..but I found the majority of the seafood here to be very bland and forgettable. 1. World Famous Lobster Fra Diavolo - The lobster was not cooked very well. it was a struggle to get the meat out and tough when chewing parts of it. Not sure if this should be considered 'world famous'; the presentation is on point though for sure. - The noodles are really tasty 2. Squid Ink pasta aglio olio - Highlight of the dish were the noodles. I enjoyed the thickness of it. Otherwise, I thought it was kind of bland. I ended up just putting a lot of hot peppers on each bite. Maybe I just don't like squid ink. Apparently it's supposed to have a good amount of garlic in the dish we ordered, but I didn't taste much of it (maybe I'm too Asian with my overdose of garlic intake) 3. calamari - This was my favorite dish of the night! It was cooked perfectly, not tough chewing the squid at all. Total with tip came out to be $120. The service was great. I enjoyed the intimate feel of the restaurant. We went on a rainy Thursday night at 7pm, and we still had to wait about 30 minutes. 3 stars = A-OK. Just can't say I'm a fan, since I most likely wouldn't come back. This place just doesn't seem to match with my taste buds. read more

I've never been to the north end location but the Brookline location was a solid experience. It is a little cramped inside and you will likely have to wait for a table. Just make sure to dress warm because the line is out the door! We got the seafood pasta and it was pricey but delicious. Would definitely come back for it! read more

The Daily Catch - Seafood pasta - Seafood Near Me - Brookline, Massachusetts

This place has become a staple restaurant for visiting family, special dinners with my wife, and really whatever excuse it will take to come back. I'm pretty picky with the my Italian food and don't really like hiking it over to the North End, so discovering this place was a miracle in itself. Favorite dishes include: -Clams casino (quite possibly my favorite place to get them) -Lobster fra diavolo -Black (squid ink) Pasta, aglio olio The monkfish marsala, while interesting, was a little sweet for my tastes. Also, the specials of the day featuring a variety of fish are always interesting. Lastly, as it has been mentioned in many reviews before, Daily Catch is a small place that will build up quite the wait at peak times. Try to get here early if possible, its definitely worth the trip. read more

I love this place! The seafood and pasta is always on point. The black ink pasta: YES. I'd eat that everyday. Only downside, even though its a small spot, they often only have one server and one chef so service can be a little slow on busy days, but it is SO worth it. read more

This location has been closed for a couple of years. But the guy over at the Hanover St. location tells me they're planning on re-opening this one in the "next few months." He also says they might be trying to do "some things the same, but some things different" with the Brookline store. Very exciting and mysterious. Let's keep an eye on this. read more

Our friends told us that the seafood here is amazing so we came to try it out. When we got there, the waitress told us to wait as she was setting up the table. So we waited as told. Then, a few minutes later, she came to us, looked at us as if we were complete idiots, and said 'why don't you sit?!' and shook her head. The food was indeed delicious and the portion was big too. We were all happy with the food. However, when the check came and we asked the same waitress to split the check, this is her EXACT words: "oh my god you guys are killing me! I have a line outside." And again shook her head. We've never in our lives encountered such poor service with such an attitude. Splitting the check is normal in all restaurants and people do it all the time. We were not asking for what's impossible. And guess what, the split check then came after less than 2 minutes. We are 'sorry' dear waitress, that this little effort felt like we were 'killing' you. How do you even survive in life? My suggestion is: if you just want good food, come here. But if you want good food and to be respected as how a normal customer in any restaurant should be respected, go somewhere else. read more

Read lots of reviews and was definitely not disappointed. Thanks again for another great find, yelpers! The boyfriend and I shared the soft shell crab special appetizer. It was delicious. The sauce used was very rich and went well with the bread. The boyfriend got the clams with a white sauce. I, on the other hand, got the aglio olio and it was....it was....it was, amazing. I was watching Anthony Bourdain and saw him eating squid ink pasta and realized I would not be satisfied until I got some myself. The Daily Catch rivals anything you would find in North End (I mean, this is a traditionally Sicilian dish anyway). I digress. The place is very small and quaint. There is one server and one cook for the entire establishment, which makes it that much more intimate...it's like eating dinner at a friend's house. I will definitely be back and look forward to trying the squid ink pasta with the different type of sauces. Did I not mention that the squid ink pasta is available for ANY of the pasta dishes? Yeah, pretty excited... read more

This place was delicious! Best crab cakes I've ever had. I got the scallops, shrimp, and broccoli linguine with the white sauce and it was perfect. My friend got the squid ink pasta with the lobster and also loved it. Our waiter Seb was friendly, attentive, and gave us helpful recommendations. I couldn't recommend this place enough and can't wait to come back! read more

Saturday evening meal. Be prepared to wait. We were lucky as we hit the restaurant at 6pm. The service were very friendly with a great smile but not fast which is okay for us. I prefer the no rush experience better. The restaurant were full during all time while we were there. A non-reflective blackboard to show the daily special would be a nice change. I was having a head time reading it. Lots of meal served in the cooking pan, I loved that. Warm and cozy. Let talk about food. Calamari meatball: Deep fried and finished off with red sauce in the pan. It came in warm in the middle. Not sure if it was intended. It did not give me a wow as the squid did not came out. It tasted like a very mild meatball. But I guess it is exactly what it is as suggested by its name. Garlic Bread: Go eat it. My son, with two thumbs up, concluded that it was just a tiny little bit better that mine, making sure he did not hurt my feeling. Bless him. Pan seared Salmon with black pasta: The fish was cook to perfection. Crisped on one side while soft and juicy inside. The squid ink pasta was very good but more of a side show. I would like the pasta taking a more prominent role. My five year old said the fish was swimming in her mouth while the pasta were having a party in her tummy. Well, go interpret that yourself. Pan seared tuna with black pasta: Big piece of tuna cooked well to customer order. The sauced tasted very similar to the salmon with an added kick to the sauce. My eight years old preferred the added spiciness. Clam with linguine: simple dish cooked well with lots of clams. Al dente pasta swimming in clam flavoured white sauce reminded me sea breeze on a Greek island. My favourite of the night. Wish there was a bunch of finely chopped parsley for added layer of taste and help focus the good saltiness better. Good first impression. I need to go back to try more dishes. read more

over rates. The food is fine, the environment and service rate doesn't suit the price. For the same price line, island creek is way better. I have been waiting outside for half and hour due to the fact that they only have one waiter.. read more

Drool. I am a selective seafood fan. As in, growing up, I ate only "biblically allowed" fish, and zero shellfish/sea creatures (I don't know how else to describe it! haha) As an adult, I am rebelling against the disapproving glare of my parents and I have been exploring the plethora of seafood available outside of fish (which I still love to eat). But, nearly 30 years of mental conditioning makes me very scared to eat non-fish seafood. (Imagine that every time you take a bite, you hear a very disapproving voice in your head saying EW, are you REALLY going to eat THAT?! disgusting!!) So, I have an aversion to very seafoody smelling seafood (like squid, calamari, clams). And the fact that calamari have little wiggly tentacles don't help. So anyway!! Back to the review! My bf got the fried calamari, which I sampled with quite a bit of misgivings. YUM!!! No seafoody smell, the taste was great, and there wasn't any of that overly chewy texture that calamari can sometime have. Delicious I got their seafood special, which was black squid ink pasta with spicy swordfish and other seafood in the sauce. DOUBLE YUM!! I even was able to eat the little pieces of calamari, even the overly tentacle pieces were kindly given to my bf. He got the classic white clam sauce with linguini. I loved it. The sauce was rich without being overly cloying, and was a huge portion. He's 6'2 and couldnt finish it. We brought home the leftovers, and it was enough for a meal for the both of us the next day! This place is always crowded, with at least a 30 minute wait. Is it worth it? Oh yeah. Don't wait until you're super hungry to get in line. Be sure to be almost hungry before you go to eat. Walk around, or stand outside the door and sniff the delicious smells wafting out the door. That'll definitely whet the appetite! read more

My mom made me try this place because of a friend of a friend, etc. We ordered the Calamari meatballs and the Squid Ink Pasta - Aglio Olio. Frankly I was disappointed in the overall experience. The place itself didn't have the right ambiance and but mostly it was the food that really irked me. The presentation was sloppily put together and the meatballs were okay. But I just didn't have a taste for it, it was way too fishy for me and I like seafood! The worst was the squid ink pasta. They barely gave you anything and it was a mess. read more

My friend and I had the Aglio Olio, which was really good. I'm giving a one star because I was extremely disappointed by the service. Keep in mind that the pasta was served in hot pans. Our server, Mariya, slammed the pans down on our table without any warning, which caused my friend to burn her finger. She walked away without an apology or any other acknowledgment. To make things worse, I saw on my credit card bill today that she added extra tip. This type of behavior is really shameful, and I will not be returning. read more

LOVED this place!! We waited in line outside for 2 hours because there is such limited seating but it was worth every minute. Come early because there will definitely be a line and you will need to wait. The max capacity of the restaurant is probably around 20 ppl when I counted. There was complimentary bread while you wait for your dishes. Dishes we had: - Clam & Mussel Linguine (white): my favorite dish out of everything we got - Shrimp & Scallop Pasta (red): would have probably tasted better with white sauce, scallops were cooked perfectly though - Black Pasta Linguine: if you haven't had squid ink pasta before, this is a must try - Calamari Platter: came with calamari 4 ways I also got a taste of the Lobster Fra Diavalo and OHMYGOODNESS best lobster I've had!!! This is a must try but it is on the more expensive end, $75 for 2 people. read more

When you think of The Daily Catch, you think of their squid ink pasta. Although at first I was a bit skeptical to try this, it was surprisingly really tasty, just like any other pasta. I think their red sauce pasta just tasted like any other pasta, nothing special, and their calamari was also nothing special. But they still tasted good and the star of the show was the very intriguing squid ink pasta! read more

The Daily Catch - Seafood Near Me - Brookline, Massachusetts

What a tiny place! Place probably seats 30 people. One waitress and one chef on staff ran the dinner session when we had dinner. I had wanted to try squid ink pasta to see what the hype was.. Ok some people say it is to die for.. I'm not quite there and not because my meal wasn't yummy (we killed the dish).. I just have nothing to compare it to.. I thought it was good but I wouldn't crave the dish like the way I crave steak or anything made with black truffle.. now that's a craving! Anyways, we had the squid ink pasta aglio and the clams with linguine.. I'd come back. Very fresh and flavorful. My favorite here is the calamari. I've had it before at their other location and remembered how crispy it came out.. We were not disappointed. A must order. Waitress was super nice. I guess we beat the rush for dinner because we only had to wait 10 minutes. Plenty of on street parking and they do take credit card in case you're worried. The table next to us had someone allergic to gluten and they made sure to fry her fish in a different oil per her request. That's great when a restaurant can cater to your needs. A++ for that! I'm a fan! read more

"You have to eat seafood in Boston," said everyone. On my last night in Boston, my friends and I set out to have a seafood dinner and visited The Daily Catch. This was my first time eating oysters (mmmm), and I ordered the special of the day (Salmon on some kind of green vegetable topped with a fried egg.....wow! my mouth still waters thinking about it, and I was told it was the last plate of the special in the house. What luck!). I'd go so far as to say it was the most delicious meal I experienced in Boston (and definitely the most pricey...but well worth it!). I'd give it a full five stars if the service hadn't left something to be desired. The server seemed distracted, couldn't answer questions without going back to the kitchen staff and never brought us bread (despite having asked him for it several times). At the end of the night, he must have sensed his poor performance because he did offer up a slice of limoncello on the house. Fine, we'll leave you a not-so-terrible tip this time, guy. Just this time. (I spent a lot of time exclaiming how this was the neighborhood in which Conan O'Brien grew up.) read more

Fried calamaris! Wine! Squid ink pasta! I always come early to this place, so I've never had had to wait...but I heard the wait can get long. Come around 5pm for weekdays, earlier for weekends. I've also had their monkfish and remember scrapping the sauce away at the end because it was so good. read more

This place is a staple for our special occasions, and for bringing out-of-town friends. We always get squid ink aglio olio and lobster fra diavolo. Food is a 5/5 (all of our friends agree!) but the long waits without reservations can significantly dampen the overall experience. read more

We were a party of 4 and we came on a Friday rainy evening. The wait was about 40min which was not too bad. The waitress was friendly and attentive. We had the calamari and the razor clams for appetizers. The calamari was fried well but the sauce was just ok. The razor clams was tasty and sweet. Most of the time I get the clams with pasta, unfortunately they didn't have any. That was disappointing and I tried the black pasta. It was just ok. Probably would call ahead next time to make sure they have clams. read more
