We had a reservation for 2 and there was only a table near the restrooms or between two very boisterous large group seatings. The waiter was attentive and sensitive to the noise. His recommendations of the Sushi Pizza was excellent - uniquely prepared flatbread filled with savory smoked salmon, cheeses and seasonings and presented as sushi. Lovely. The Carpaccio was paper thin and welk-presented. A full plated giant Calzone rounded out the dinner, but the top was overdone without having had the marinara on top. Overall a good choice. We’ll be back for another meal.

The ink pasta was overwhelming fishy and the fettuccini was outstanding. The desserts were the winner of the night. The lamb meatballs was the other winner of the night. The ricotta app just didn’t have much flavor. The focaccia was delicious. It was a hit or miss on certain dishes. The drinks were good. Price point was a bit high for the caliber of food. Don’t get me wrong I would go back. The server was good.
