I was looking forward to checking this place out for some time. Unfortunately I didn't live up to my expectations. The calamari had absolutely no flavor. It was totally flat. My Shrimp Parmasean was good, not great. My wife's Capallini Frutta di Mare was average. The only bright spot was the staff. Digna was our server and she was outstanding. Chelsea was our waitress and she was very good as well.It was worth a try....just didn't cut it for us. - Paul Vetrano
