For Italy seafood spot, this place hits the mark. The vibes are great, old school vibes, definitely more of a lunch/brunch spot compared to a dinner spot. The seafood was fresh and just tasted really amazing. The chowder wasn’t too think with just the right creaminess. The crab Louie was doused with crab and the seafood soup/pasta dish which they are know for, for two was really great, definitely worth a try.

Going with a group of 4 will help you be able it try more items on the menu. Bathroom was clean and staff was super friendly!

A stop I had to made visiting from AZ and so glad I did. Multiple people recommended this place and it was incredibly delicious. Every plate tasted freshly made and temperature was perfect. Inside was a little hot so requested an outside table which was just perfect for the beautiful weather. Not sure what happened to our waitress but eventually someone else came to check on us. A definite recommendation!!

Hard to get a table because we had friends that were trying to park but they wouldn’t seat us unless the whole party was there. We even asked if we could just order immediately for four people’s worth and they said no. Food was delicious though. Crab was actually spicy. Highly recommend. West coast oysters were delicious! They are very busy though because we barely got in on walk in and then we heard a couple come in and the next spot available was 8:30pm when we went in at 3pm. Very fresh and tasty. If you want to make a reservation they won’t answer their phone unless it’s closer to opening time or closing time. Parking is very difficult on a Saturday afternoon. Do not trust any people who will take your keys for a discount. We eventually found a spot but it took a long time.

My partner and I came around 5 and were sat immediately. The bar top allowed us to watch the chefs cook which was cool. Oysters and prawns were fabulous and risotto was great. I’m so happy we found this place.
