This is my favorite Italian restaurant hands down! The food was beyond amazing, the drinks were spectacular, and the service was the service was awesome.. 2 story restaurant. The bottom floor had more of an old world feel, and a bit more contemporary upstairs. I highly recommend the small plates with the cheese sampler. We did the choose 3 for $18 And enjoyed every single dish.

We had 4:30 dinner reservations main dining room was not available which was fine for us. Only the bar area was open. The staff was very professional even when rude customers came in and demanded a seat without reservations the staff remain calm and professional. In my opinion they handled the situation with the utmost class. The restaurant is absolutely gorgeous it has that high class Italian feel. Drinks were very well made. Dinner was fantastic. My wife had the Bolognese & I chose the ribeye that was recommended by our server /bartender Peter (awesome guy!) At first I thought the ribeye was pricey but after the first taste I knew it was worth every penny I honestly cannot think of another stake I've eaten my lifetime that was as good as this cooked perfectly & great flavor! We will be back next time we are in Portsmouth with our a doubt

Amazing atmosphere, wonderful staff and incredible food. Words cannot describe how much we loved our experience there. This was our fist time, and will not be our last. So many more dishes to try.

The best thing about our experience were the staff. Everyone was so friendly and our server was extremely attentive. We could tell they were in high spirits and had great attitude, which is rare during this time, so it was much appreciated! The food was very delightful - we had the carbonara with truffle (recommended by our server), gemelli pasta with duck, kobe meatballs and panna cotta for dessert. Cute atmosphere perfect for a special occasion.

Find a public parking lot or garage on the weekends and walk or use their valet service. During the week they will let you park in their valet lot for free, right across the street from the restaurant. Just call the restaurant and someone will come out to open the gate for you.
