   The menu is very interesting and the food was excellent. My only complaint was the price of alcohol. Our manhattans were $17 each and a small glass of not so good wine was $12.

   Our meal was very good. I thoroughly enjoyed my salmon dish. My wife had the 'Risotto Mare e Monti". She also enjoyed it, but in her opinion would have preferred sea/ocean scallops, which she claims are tastier compared to bay scallops. Overall, a very enjoyable dining experience, and happy to see that so far the restaurant is doing very well. We hope they stay in Lewiston for many, many years.

   Friendly and courteous staff. Excellent food - tasty, very well presented. The menu and wine list were not over extensive - a very good thing. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. Prices not unreasonable for upscale dining. Highly recommended.

   Overall great food and good service. Only suggestions… Make that delicious bread service offered vs having to ask (limit to one free). As far as ambience dim the lights a little more and maybe pump in some nice ambient Italian music (not too loud). Looking forward to our next visit.

   Our first visit at this recently opened restaurant in Lewiston. Really nice decor. Very friendly service - although perhaps a little inexperienced. My husband had the fried oysters and, although they were tasty, were mostly 3 bites worth of breading and not worth the $16 price tag. For dinner he had the braciole and I had the chicken milanese. Both were very, very good. The presentation was lovely and portion size was perfect. We had room for dessert and opted for gelato (how can you not like gelato?!) I recommend a visit!

   Food advertised as "contemporary Italian cuisine" but my partner and I found our meals bland, without any noticeable seasoning. My partner had the gnocchi with Bolognese sauce and I had the braciole. Tomato sauce was tasteless. Food was on the overcooked scale and the side of grilled asparagus salty. Disappointed.

   Staff was very attentive and nice. We had the short ribs and pollo alla Milanese. The short ribs melted in your mouth and the Milanese was very good. Will go back.

   Food was excellent. Heard good things so my wife and I checked it out last night. Little on the pricier side but for good food I don’t mind paying extra. I’ll definitely go again.

    The food was excellent! Our server, MaryJoe, was friendly and gave us the best service! It was great meeting Pam, who own’s Blue Cave With her husband, Chef Mario. Pam visited every table in the restaurant and made everyone feel welcome. We will definitely go there again!!
