The decor was cool but people are packed in there like sardines. Our service was great which was a nice surprise with the number of people there and the number of people waiting. We were lucky because we were a party of two. I had French onion soup, which was good. However, the pizza was absolutely fabulous! My husband had the meatballs and ziti and said it was really good. I would be getting pizza there all the time if I lived in the area!

There was very little lamb in the dish (see pic) & because of that, they did not even finish it. My husband & I shared the "lasagna". It's not lasagna; it's lasagna noodles with a tiny amount of cheese & all meat sauce. It was delish but it you are looking for lasagna, this isn't it. Service was great. Enjoyed our drinks except for the cucumber martini. Wow - what a find! This lovely place is split into 2. The trattoria is mainly indoor dining & a small bar & next door is their "Veranda" restaurant w/limited indoor tables & mostly outdoor tables w/live music. The Veranda section doesn't take reservations & looks lovely. Our reservation was at the Trattoria. We enjoyed drinks first - I really liked the blueberry martini w/out sugar. My husband had wine & my friend loved the strawberry martini. We ordered the full loaf of bread & it was great with the fabulous dipping oil. For dinners we had: linguini w/clams, lasagna, chicken marsala, & bolognese. We all loved our dinners & all brought food home. We ended with a tiramasu. Great place, nicely decorated, romantic, & our waitress was wonderful!

PARENT'S WEEKEND ADVENTURE!!!…read more Let me start with we have had the pizza and calzones from this place with the kids and the food was Awesome!!! Check out my 1st review for details!!! This time we got to sit down and have a truly enjoyable Adult Italian Dinner!!! The Ambiance/Decor is old world Italian style and very comfortable. It takes you somewhere that makes you feel like the beach isn't less than a mile away. We love it!!! Oh my word the Food was so flavorful and worth every penny!!! Food to Value ration: WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! Yes I said it twice, lol!!! We ordered a reserve Chianti and Wifey LOVED IT!!! As an app, we got the Eggplant Rollatini and it did not disappoint. It was ooey gooey Great!!! We both upgraded to the Caesar Salad and I'm not sure how the house salad would have been, but the 2$ up charge was well worth it. Tasted way better than most Cesar salads at other establishments. We ordered our entrees from the Chef's Specialty menu. Wifey got the short rib ravioli. Portion size was good and taste was so fresh they tasted like they were made fresh when ordered!!! I got the Salmon dish and holy succulent Salmon. Cooked to perfection!!! The brandy risotto w/asparagus was a nice complement to the Salmon. We were so full we didn't even have desert, but we cannot wait to try the house made tiramisu next time!!! If you get the chance to try this place. Do yourselves a favor and stop in. We will always make this place a stop on our visits to the area!!! AS ALWAYS TRY IT FOR YOURSELF!!!

Upon arrival we were given an Italian bread warm and sliced with 5 packets of butter. No oil and Italian seasoning for dipping. Given a small balsamic salad which wasn't bad. Then the main dish arrived I got veal parm and my wife got veal marsala. My veal parm was tasteless yet very tender and my wife's marsala was OK but they went a little overboard on the pepper. Her glass of wine was very good. All in all next time I'm in town I'm passing on Marios.

The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere and offers outdoor seating by the water. The service was extremely fast and our waiter was quick to give us recommendations on the menu.

The flavors absolutely melted in your mouth and the seafood was cooked to perfection! We did not save room for dessert but everything looked and sounded amazing. You can't go wrong ordering anything on the menu. This is a classic Italian place and hits every mark!

Our only complaint, bigger servings specially with the sides. We started by ordering Whipped Feta & Crab Fries. EXCELLENT choices to start our celebration. Since we were 16, we had just about everything in the menu, lobster roll, mac-cheese & lobster, captain's catch, burgers...everyone enjoyed their meal...everyone wished their serving was a bit bigger. Their peach clobber & bread pudding was DELICIOUS! The place, although a bit small for now (they are moving across the street to a bigger location), they managed to seat us all together. Nice local restaurant! I will visit again

The thing I like about Aldi over other stores is that they have self check out and you can usually get in and out pretty quickly in comparison to Walmart or even sprouts up the street. The parking lot is simple as though it's easy to get in and out unless the vintage Marché is going on. The aisles are usually organized and it's rare that they are out of an item that I am looking for.

I don't think I've ever bough anything from this "non-edibles isle", but it's always fun to look. Bottom line: Don't forget your quarter and your shopping bags.
