4.5 is UNDER rated. It actually deserve Michelin star. The food was too good...from appetizers to all the way coffee and desert. We had salads, fetuchini pasta where sauce was definitely as cheesy as it can be , and lobster pasta was a hit! We finished off with teramisu that was just a perfect finish. Home made with love! Place to go back to and enjoy service, atmosphere and certainly FOOD! Thanks to chef!
Loved this place! We had 7:00 tickets for a play, so the Early Bird dinner was perfect. The only complaint I have is that the salad was dressed, and the chilled, before it came to the table. It was a bit slimy and congealed. I should have asked for dressing on the side. Our shrimp scampi was perfect. The shrimp were perfectly cooked. The service was attentive without feeling the “bum’s rush”. The experience reminded us of a fabulous little restaurant we ate at in Buonconvento Italy this past May.
Restaurant has moved from previous location.
Much more modern and food is delicious as always.
Will always dine here when in Cape May.
Our first time dining here and we really loved it. However one unfriendly aspect is the reservation policy which seems pretty harsh. Have to use a credit card to secure the reservation and there is a hefty no show fee. The interior of the restaurant is really lovely and the menu has a wonderful variety of selections. I love that they have gluten free pasta as an option, which I requested when I ordered the lobster pasta dish. The gluten free pasta was delicious and the creamy tomato sauce was heavenly. My only complaint was they were not very generous with the lobster. My husband ordered the swordfish, and that was also excellent. We wish we had room for dessert but dinner filled us up. Will definitely come back the next time we visit Cape May. Yum!
Very nice BYOB restaurant! Service was very attentive and friendly. I definitely recommend making a reservation as it does get crowded/fully booked. Came here for a nice dinner on a short vacation. We started with the rice balls which were amazing - highly suggest ordering! I got lasagna which was a good size portion and i loved the sauce. My friend ordered the special of blackened chicken over parmesan risotto which was also very delicious. The 4 stars is because the seafood bisque was not a hit. It wasn't very flavorful and it went uneaten. Despite that, would return again!
The service and decor deserve 5 stars. Our server couldn't be more charming. What loses the star is: 1 the fact that you can't buy wine by the glass, full or half bottles only. I wasn't drinking and my partner wanted just one glass. She never had one. 2 in my partners octopus salad, the octopus was cooked tough while the rest of the salad was delicious and well dressed. My cacio y pepe, while cooked perfectly, could have used a little more pasta water in the sauce. While it tasted good it was a little thick and pasty instead of velvety and luscious. 3 you have to pay to park, only the first hour of parking is covered. Who eats a meal in a restaurant in an hour? Would I go back? Maybe.
First time here for all 4 of us, and most of the evening was very pleasant. Heads up... don't order the veal. It was waaaay too chewy, and we let the waitress know... gee, I'll let the chef know. No comps of any sort... on well. All desserts were good, plus the cappuccino was well made.
It's a BYOB, but don't order the freakin veal!
Very good. I try not to give too many 5 star reviews, but some just earn it. From the atmosphere, to the service, then the food. The pasta was cooked to perfection, the lobster was as tender as could be, and the sauce was light and tasty. Definitely will return....Soon.
Looked at reviews for an hour trying to find a restaurant. Wow..
Lobster pasta, my wife had sea bass. Absolutely fantastic!!!
Price reasonable for a tourist eatery. Never know what to expect. We'll be back again. Think the waiter was marka,perfect for this place
The restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly and attentive. We had reservations so we were seated quickly. Our table was indoors but outdoor seating under a tent was available. The fresh Italian bread was warm and delicious. The chicken parmesan is served with spaghetti and asparagus. The serving size was spot on but a little small compared to some other restaurants. The sauce was a bit sweeter than I prefer and the spaghetti was fresh and tasty. The seafood scampi serving was a good sized portion. A perfect balance of shrimp, mussels (nice and clean; no sand), scallops, crab and clams in an exquisite sauce over linguini. As for dessert the cannoli was good but not exceptional. The lemon cake was light and fluffy. It was very nice to see the restaurant was fully staffed in these difficult times. This restaurant is a bit expensive but I highly recommend it.
