First time coming here. The salad (which comes with all entrees) was very good. Not your traditional salad but I probably could have had 5 plates of it. We got the carbonara which was good but I don’t think i would get it next time. The garlic knots are endless but I would consider them on the doughy side and I was not a huge fan.

My family and I traveled from Upstate New York. We originally come for the lobster. I would drive the 8 hours again just to come to this restaurant.

Cozy and bright Italian eatery. My daughter goes with her Grandmother when they are in town as they have a nice selection of Gluten Free options. It was my first time. I had the seafood lasagna and it was very good! It will continue to be a family favorite when we find ourselves in Brunswick!

We had no reservation and yet got in right away at a nice table. Good wine . The broccoli was the best part of my Alfredo chicken fettuccine. The knots were very oily . The salad was decent . Fettuccine noodles could be cooked longer ( a bit tasteless ) as well. If they used home made pasta or made their own this place would be a five.

Great food and very fair prices imo. The lasagna was fantastic. The only reason I gave 4 stars and not 3 is because of how slow the service was. While our waitress was fantastic, the food just took a long time to come out. If you are in a rush you should pick a different spot but otherwise definitely go here. It’s delicious.

Excelent food. Ok, lets get real. $$$ lunch special $13.00 for mussels, clams, diced crab and a giant scallop in white sause on pasta. That’s a great deal in 2023… Bargain, delisious. I’m going back next year. Wife had lobster, peas and tomatos in white sause over pasta $20.00- another home run for this restaurant. And they give you delisious garlic nots with your meal omg ..see you next year, from New York

Loved our dinner here. $10 for an incredible bowl of mussels, fabulous little starter salad with all entrees and the best Saltimbocca I’ve ever had. So tender and delicious. Very friendly staff 10/10 would love to come back

This place is great! Great service! I had the seafood soup and the seafood lasagna and they were both incredible! Make sure you get the garlic bread. Parking can be tricky but they do have about 5 spots right beside the restaurant.

My husband had the lobster pasta and I had the chicken parmesan.. everything was delicious and the garlic knots were so fresh! Our server was also lovely. A great place to stop for lunch while we were visiting from out of town.
