Found online when we were vacationing…soooooo delicious!!!! Lucked out! We started with the octopus which was my favorite thing on the menu! Garden salad was good and then we got the shrimp risotto add chili oil it was amazing! Wine and service were great as well!

Came in here to celebrate my brother's birthday and what a treat! I booked on OpenTable and made a note that it was for my Brother's bday. When we got there they asked who Alex was and said "Happy Birthday!" Then when we got to our table the menu also said HBD and it was said throuoghout the night..what a nice touch to make someone feel so special, celebrated, and loved. In addition to the wonderful ambiance and service, the food was incredible. We ordered the following for 4: - 2 orders of octopus (really good but would be small portions for 4 to split one order) - duck liver crostini (recommended to us by my mother-in-law.. super rich and a bit heavy but really good) - pistachio pesto pizza .. best pizza I have had in a really long time. Fresh dough. Great pistachio pesto. Thin crust, so yummy! - duck pasta. fresh dough. a bit heavy but super flavorful and not really gamey - squid ink pasta: shrimp, a bit of a bite with spice, and really fresh pasta. So so yummy. I want to go back and try every pizza and pasta dish! And with service like that, you better take EVERYONE there for a birthday or special occasion!

When I say this is good food, I really mean it. My whole party ordered dishes that they absolutely loved. Came here for a friend’s birthday and had a phenomenal time. The waiting staff was great, helped us decide what to order, and recommended some great drink options. Looking forward to coming back in the near future!

My meal here absolutely delicious! The restaurant is located on the third floor. Inside is a lovey bar and equally lovely balcony dining area. It was amazing to dine and look out to the ocean. The service is prompt, professional, and courteous. I ordered the crispy octopus appetizer and it was amazing! I was so excited to try my entree after eating it. I ordered the Diavolo pizza and my partner ordered the steak. The pizza was amazing, but so was so the steak! We also had the Chocolate nemesis for dessert. I’m so glad we found we this restaurant on the Michelin list. It’s absolutely amazing! Please make a reservation and try it for yourself!

I've seen diners there for lunch in t-shirts and shorts, so I don't think there is a dress code.
